OCR: SuperCrypt SuperCrypt is steam cipher. These ciphers work by creating random (or nearly random) stream of characters or bits (known as the key stream) which exclusive- -ored with the data to be enciphered A truly random sequence is said to have infinite 'length' (ie I does not repeat or have any othe patterns) Although no finite algorithm can produce truly random sequence the length of th key stream must be at least as long as the data to be encrypted SuperCrypt T has an extrem long key length. SuperCrypt runs at about 55k/sec on a Mac Plus/ SE and at about 225k/sec on Mac 1 Synchronous Stream Cipher Encryption Decryption Key SuperCrypt Key SuperCrypt Message Ciphertext Message
