Abstract
This paper describes a new secret key cryptosystem named CIPHER128 (C128). The algorithm is based on a feistel structure which encrypts a 128 bit block. It demonstrates few effective features like multiple S-Boxes, variable plain text size depending on data and key, padding by random variables, data and key dependent cyclic shift operations and variable length key.
