cryptography , UES (Universal Encryption Standard) is ablock cipher designed in 1999 byHelena Handschuh andSerge Vaudenay . They proposed it as a transitional step, to prepare for the completion of theAES process .UES was designed with the same interface as AES: a block size of 128 bits and
key size of 128, 192, or 256 bits. It consists of two parallelTriple DES encryptions on the halves of the block, withkey whitening and key-dependent swapping of bits between the halves. Thekey schedule is taken fromDEAL .References
