Successors

Caracachs Cipher formerly known as PC3 Cipher was released in 2000.[4]

PC4 was released in 2015. It's a block cipher specifically designed for DMR radio communication systems. It uses 253 rounds and the key size can vary from 8 bits to 2112 bits. The block size is 49 bits, the exact size of an AMBE+ DMR voiceframe. [5]
