The CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm
RFC 2144, “The CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm”, is an Informational document published in May 1997 by C. Adams. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
There is a need in the Internet community for an unencumbered encryption algorithm with a range of key sizes that can provide security for a variety of cryptographic applications and protocols. This document describes an existing algorithm that can be used to satisfy this requirement. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
