Speck is a family of lightweight block ciphers publicly released by the NSA in June 2013.[1] Speck has been optimized for performance in software implementations, while its sister algorithm, Simon, has been optimized for hardware implementations. Speck is an Add-Rotate-Xor SPN cipher.

Speck supports the following combinations of block lengths and key lengths:[2]

Block size (bits) Key sizes (bits)
32 64
48 72, 96
64 96, 128
96 96, 144
128 128, 192, 256
