Description
The "RC2 Encrypt" and "RC2 Decrypt" operations use an "effective key bits" value of 128. It would be great if that value was mentioned somewhere in the description in the UI (see image). The EKB value affects the output of the cipher, so it's important to know which value is used.
Alternatively the value could be configurable, but I don't think that is necessary. Mentioning the value should be enough to avoid confusion.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Search the repository for the “RC2 Encrypt” and “RC2 Decrypt” operation definitions and inspect how their descriptions are rendered in the UI. Update the descriptions to state that the effective key bits value is 128, then verify both operation descriptions display that value.
