The Hasty Pudding Cipher (HPC) is a variable-block-size block cipher designed by Richard Schroeppel, which was an unsuccessful candidate in the competition for selecting the U.S. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
 It has a number of unusual properties for a block cipher: its input block size and key length are variable, and it includes an additional input parameter called the "spice" for use as a secondary, non-secret key.
 The Hasty Pudding cipher was the only AES candidate designed exclusively by U.S. cryptographers.
Hasty pudding is a pudding or porridge of grains cooked in milk or water.

 Hasty pudding is notably mentioned in a verse of the early American song "Yankee Doodle".
