Abstract
This document specifies the W7 cipher algorithm. The W7 algorithm is a byte-wide, synchronous stream cipher optimized for efficient hardware implementation at very high data rates. It is a symmetric key algorithm supporting key lengths of 128 bits. In addition to the algorithm specification, this document contains test vectors and a representative software implementation in the C language.
