The summarization of cryptographic algorithms.

Algorithms	Description
RC4	Stream cipher, simple.
RC5	Block cipher, a variable block size (32, 64, or 128 bits), more secure than RC4.
AES	Block cipher, a 128-bit block size, the encryption standard adopted by the USA
HIGHT	Block cipher, block size (64 or 128 bits)
KATAN	Block cipher, block size (32, 48, or 64 bits)
