HC-128
HC-128
eSTREAM Phase 3 software-profile stream cipher by Hongjun Wu. Uses two 512-word (2 KB each) key/IV-derived lookup tables P and Q that update themselves during keystream generation. The fastest stream cipher in the eSTREAM portfolio on 32-bit software. Output = IV(32 hex) + ciphertext.
