This document specifies tweakable block ciphers. A tweakable block cipher is a family of n-bit permutations parametrized by a secret key value and a public tweak value. Such primitives are generic tools that can be used as building blocks to construct cryptographic schemes such as encryption, Message Authentication Codes, authenticated encryption, etc.A total of five different tweakable block ciphers are defined. They are categorized in Table 1.
