Class TnepresEngine

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    BlockCipher

    public final class TnepresEngine
    extends SerpentEngineBase
    Tnepres is a 128-bit 32-round block cipher with variable key lengths, including 128, 192 and 256 bit keys conjectured to be at least as secure as three-key triple-DES.

    Tnepres is based on Serpent which was designed by Ross Anderson, Eli Biham and Lars Knudsen as a candidate algorithm for the NIST AES Quest. Unfortunately there was an endianness issue with test vectors in the AES submission and the resulting confusion lead to the Tnepres cipher as well, which is a byte swapped version of Serpent.
