SAFER
This article is about the encryption algorithm. For other uses of the acronym, see
SAFER (disambiguation). In
cryptography, SAFER (Secure And Fast Encryption Routine) is the name of a family of
block ciphers designed primarily by
James Massey (one of the designers of
IDEA) on behalf of Cylink Corporation. The early SAFER K and SAFER SK designs share the same
encryption function, but differ in the number of rounds and the
key schedule. More recent versions — SAFER+ and SAFER++ — were submitted as candidates to the
AES process and the
NESSIE project respectively. All of the algorithms in the SAFER family are unpatented and available for unrestricted use.

safe
A safe program analysis is one which will not reach invalid conclusions about the behaviour of the program. This may involve making safe approximations to properties of parts of the program. A safe approximation is one which gives less information.
For example, strictness analysis aims to answer the question "will this function evaluate its argument"?. The two possible results are "definitely" and "don't know". A safe approximation for "definitely" is "don't know". The two possible results correspond to the two sets: "the set of all functions which evaluate their argument" and "all functions". A set can be safely approximated by another which contains it.
