Incryptography,CIKS-1 is ablock cipher designed in 2002 by A.A. Moldovyan and N.A. Moldovyan. Like its predecessor,Spectr-H64, it relies heavily onpermutations of bits, so is better suited to implementation in hardware than in software.
The algorithm has ablock size of 64 bits. It uses an 8 round structure in which half of the block determines the transformation of the other half in each round, similar to aFeistel cipher orRC5. In each round thekey also undergoes a transformation dependent on the data. CIKS-1 uses four types of operations: data-dependent permutations, fixed permutations,XORs, andaddition mod 4.
The designers of CIKS-1 didn't specify anykey schedule for the cipher, but it uses a totalkey size of 256 bits. Kidney, Heys, and Norvell showed that round keys of lowHamming weight are relativelyweak, so keys should be chosen carefully. The same researchers have also proposed adifferential cryptanalysis of CIKS-1 which uses 256 chosen plaintexts.
