Sure.  TC8 is a symmetric block cipher geared towards embedded and low
memory environments.  The purpose of TC8 is to encrypt or decrypt eight
byte blocks of data under the control of a 192-bit key.  I have a
draft-paper explaining TC8 in some depth at 

http://www.geocities.com/tomstdenis/tc8_draft.zip

What I want from the hardware side is estimates for high/low end
implementations.  Ideally a low-end would be something for a 8-bit MCU
and the high end would be for something higher.  An immediate usage for
the 8-bit MCU is to encrypt packet radio traffic, or to encode data
sent/read from a hard disk.  As for the high-end if it's fast enough it
could be used to encode LAN traffic or for disk encryption.
