==SAFER+ and SAFER++==

There are two more-recent members of the SAFER family that have made changes to the main encryption routine, designed by the Armenian cryptographers Gurgen Khachatrian (Dr. Bro) and Melsik Kuregian in conjunction with Massey.

* '''SAFER+''' (Massey et al., 1998) was submitted as a candidate for the [[AES process|Advanced Encryption Standard]] and has a block size of 128 bits. The cipher was not selected as a finalist. [[Bluetooth]] uses custom algorithms based on SAFER+ for key derivation (called E21 and E22) and authentication as [[message authentication code]]s (called E1). Encryption in Bluetooth does not use SAFER+.<ref name="bt-preliminary">{{cite paper |author=Sil Janssens |date=2005-01-09 |title=Preliminary study: Bluetooth Security |url=http://student.vub.ac.be/~sijansse/2e%20lic/BT/Voorstudie/PreliminaryStudy.pdf |accessdate=2007-02-27 }}</ref>
