Serpent

Serpent is a cryptographic algorithm designed to securely encode data, making it unreadable to unauthorized users. It operates as a block cipher, processing fixed-size data chunks through complex mathematical transformations to ensure confidentiality. Recognized for its efficiency and security, Serpent was one of the finalists in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) competition. It employs multiple rounds of substitution and permutation steps, creating a robust encryption process that protects sensitive information in various applications, including data transmission and storage.
