Rivest Cipher 5 (RC5): A block cipher known for its simplicity and flexibility in terms of block size, key size, and the number of encryption rounds. While RC5 has influenced cryptographic research, it is not commonly used in modern applications, with more secure and standardized algorithms like AES being favored in current cryptographic practices.
