Serpent Cipher’s Key Schedule in Algebraic Form: with Reduction.


This article is a continuation of the recent mega-puzzler concerning the experiment.

This variant will reduce the equations. We will omit printing the input matrix, for brevity. And so:

(quit)

Producing, in half a minute or so:
this.


Observe that expressions of the form (XOR 1 ...) are equivalent to a NOT (XOR ...).

In the next and final article in this series... the money shot!
