Is it legal? (#6369)
Yes!

This is NOT the same as cracking software for illegal use.

It is sponsored by the inventors of RC5 for the sole purpose of testing the strength of the algorithm.

Here is a snippet from the RSA Laboratories website:

The goal of the contests described here is to quantify the security offered by the government-endorsed data encryption standard (DES) and other secret-key ciphers with keys of various sizes. The information obtained from these contests is anticipated to be of value to researchers and developers alike as they estimate the strength of an algorithm or application against exhaustive key-search.
