What happens at this part in the key schedule of a Speck...?
I am trying to figure out the process behind the Speck block cipher.
I understand how XOR works (Exclusive-or) when you take 2 strings of bits and you want to XOR them together.
However, in the key ...

Speck with signed math
I find myself implementing Speck in an industrial controller that only does signed math.
What cryptographic ramifications would there be if the Speck algorithm was implemented using signed math?

Speck32 with low-entropy messages
I'm using Speck 32 to encode a very low-entroy set of bits (so that the messages stay very short)
It encodes two numbers:
w: 16 bits: but in most circumstances the message is one of only 10-100 ...

Is it secure to transmit a short plaintext with its MAC?
I have a short (32-bit) message that needs to be authenticated. Due to the constraints of my platform, I would like to use Speck32/64 (32-bit block, 64-bit key) with a Matyas-Meyer-Oseas one-way ...

What does NSA mean by 'Analyzable'?
Recently NSA published two new algorithms, Simon and Speck. In the abstract they say
The aim of SIMON and SPECK is to fill the need for secure, flexible, and analyzable lightweight block ciphers.
