Broken block ciphers

Madryga

In cryptography, Madryga is a block cipher published in 1984 by W. E. Madryga. It was designed to be easy and efficient for implementation in software. Serious weaknesses have since been found in the algorithm, but it was one of the first encryption algorithms to make use of data-dependent rotations, later used in other ciphers, such as RC5 and RC6. In his proposal, Madryga set forth twelve design objectives that are generally considered to be good goals in the design of a block cipher. DES had already fulfilled nine of them. The three that DES did not fulfill were: 1. * Any possible key should produce a strong cipher. (Meaning no weak keys, which DES has.) 2. * The length of the key and the text should be adjustable to meet varying security requirements. 3. * The algorithm should be efficiently implementable in software on large mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers, and in discrete logic. (DES has a large amount of bitwise permutations, which are inefficient in software implementations.) (Wikipedia).

I found these 3 electronics kits from MadLab. I thought it would be fun to make a video of the assembly and testing of each one to see what they can do.
