On the Design and Security of RC2

Abstract: Abstract. The block cipher RC2 was designed in 1989 by Ron Rivest for RSA Data Security Inc. In this paper we describe both the cipher and preliminary attempts to use both differential and linear cryptanalysis.

“…Even if a pair does not follow one of the described characteristics, the Hamming weight of the output difference will usually be about the same as the Hamming weight of the input difference. This behavior is quite similar to that of RC2 [4] and RC5 [8]. Therefore we will use a variant of the differential attack that has been developed to attack RC5 [2] and is also used on RC2 [4].…”

“…The encryption for any given data word varies with time and sequence, in accord with padding bits under the encryption (symmetric cipher) or blinding factors over the encryption (homomorphic cipher). We have run the prototype with RC2 (Knudsen et al, 1998) 64-bit and Rijndael 128-bit symmetric encryption (the latter is the 'advanced encryption standard,' AES-128), and a Paillier 72-bit homomorphic encryption, gaining experience with both kinds.…”
