How RC2's mysterious pi table was made
Original: How RC2's π table was made
A new write-up by Khalid Hamadeh explains how the pi table used in the RC2 encryption algorithm was originally generated. RC2, a cipher designed by Ron Rivest in the 1980s for RSA Data Security, has long had a curious internal table of values derived from pi whose exact construction was undocumented. The article draws attention among cryptography enthusiasts discussing the historical details of the algorithm's design.
Why now: Cryptography enthusiasts find newly documented historical details about RC2's long-unexplained design choices interesting.
