I am looking for information about an encryption algorithm that I believe is called S3. It is possibly that this is a Motorola proprietary algorithm; I'm not sure at this point, but I incline to believe so since I have hard time finding anything on the web. If that's the case then probably I'm unlucky. ;)

I have some files with extention SRE, which was listed on a site with extentions description as "Unknown File (Motorola)". The SRE files are text files and are looking like this:

S31500000000070000EA050000EA040000EA030000EA2F
S31500000010020000EA010000EA000000EAFFFFFFEA32

S315000000D0FCFFFF3A490000EB848B0500243000E06A
S315000000E02C3000E0303000E0343000E0383000E002

Any help for finding more about the "S3" encryption is welcomed.

Thank you.

Hmmm, I don1t remember any S3 encryption, They are using DES and AES(maybe wrong spelling but it means next after DES standart of encryption) But your data looks like S-boxes array, or key array. But not as ciphered data. It will be very strange if every line in cipher text beginnes with S3 symbols. And as I know they are (motorola) alsow using blowfisj encryption system. So those keys which you displayed maybe from there.

Thanks Skoons, I got it. It's called S-Record (S3 for 32 bits data). For those interested, here is a link:
