How about an example to make this a bit clearer?

Here's where the code might have been cut and pasted from. It looks like the same code with newlines removed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Pike_%28cipher%29

This is called the "Supposed Source Code" for Red Pike.

To quote from Wikipedia:

wikipedia
 

Red Pike is a classified United Kingdom government cipher, proposed for use by the National Health Service by GCHQ, but designed for a "broad range of applications in the British government" [1]. Little is publicly known about Red Pike, except that it is a block cipher with a 64-bit block size and 64-bit key length. According to the academic study of the cipher cited below and quoted in a paper by Ross Anderson and Markus Kuhn, it "uses the same basic operations as RC5" (add, XOR, and left shift) and "has no look-up tables, virtually no key schedule and requires only five lines of code"; "the influence of each key bit quickly cascades" and "each encryption involves of the order of 100 operations".

Red Pike is available to approved British government contractors in software form, for use in confidential (not secret) government communication systems. GCHQ also designed the Rambutan cryptosystem for the same segment.


@Joe.T: If you're going to cut and paste something without any explanation, at least have the decency to give credit to your source.
