Permutation Engine - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
PENG4 ("Permutation Engine 4") is an implementation of an encryption algorithm based on long-distance bit permutations. It is still experimental. Written in C, it is suprisingly fast on modern computers. Lower performance is partially intended because of more difficult brute force attacks. The project was started in 1998, and in generation 4 the main objective was to avoid manual optimizations, since surprisingly, bitpacking and access ordering have made things worse. The algorithm and the tool is intended for top secret material, albeit its implementation is experimental and may be faulty or too simplistic in some point of view. Caveat utilitor!
