RC5 is a fast block cipher designed by Ronald Rivest for RSA Data
Security (now RSA Security) in 1994. It is a parameterized algorithm
with a variable block size, a variable key size, and a variable number
of rounds. This particular implementation is 32 bit. As such, it is
suggested that a minimum of 12 rounds be performed.
