/*
 *
 * Serpent is a 128-bit block cipher that accepts a key size of 256 bits,
 * designed by Ross Anderson, Eli Biham, and Lars Knudsen.  See
 * http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/serpent.html for details.

   design of Serpent makes other key lengths useless; they cheated with the
   AES requirements, using a 256-bit key length exclusively and just padding
   it out if the desired key length was less, so there really is no advantage
   to using key lengths less than 256 bits. */
