Synchronous stream cipher HENKOS is proposed by Marius Oliver Gheorghit to eprint for analyzing the algorithm by cryptologic community. At the first look of HENKOS, it can be observed that a 256 byte secret key is an undesirable quality of the algorithm. Also, the algorithm is not efficient in case of streaming data that has to encrypt instantaneously, this is because the algorithm generates a 256 bytes of key stream in each round.
