Key schedule
In cryptography, the so-called product ciphers are a certain kind of ciphers, where the (de-)ciphering of data is done in so-called "rounds", where the general setup of each round is the same, except for some hard-coded parameters and a part of the cipher key, called a subkey. A key schedule is an algorithm that, given the key, calculates the subkeys for these rounds.
