ORYX
ORYX is an encryption algorithm used in cellular communications in order to protect data traffic. It is a stream cipher designed to have a very strong 96-bit key strength with a way to reduce the strength to 32-bits for export. However, due to mistakes the actual strength is a trivial 16-bits and any signal can be cracked after the first 25–27 bytes.It is one of the four cryptographic primitives standardized by TIA's for use in their digital cellular communications standards TDMA and CDMA.

oryx
An oryx is a type of large antelope native to Africa and the Middle East, known for its long, straight horns, sturdy build, and distinctive markings on the face and legs. Oryx are herbivores, inhabiting a range of harsh environments including deserts and grasslands where they feed on grass, leaves, seeds and roots. They are popular in myth and symbolism, particularly in the Arabian Peninsula where they are the national animal of several countries.

Oryx
Oryx is a genus consisting of four large antelope species. Three of them are native to arid parts of Africa, and the fourth to the Arabian Peninsula. Their fur is pale with contrasting dark markings in the face and on the legs, and their long horns are almost straight. The exception is the scimitar oryx, which lacks dark markings on the legs, only has faint dark markings on the head, has an ochre neck, and horns that are clearly decurved. The Arabian oryx was only saved from extinction through a captive breeding program and reintroduction to the wild. The scimitar oryx, which is now listed as Extinct in the Wild, also relies on a captive breeding program for its survival. Small populations of several oryx species, such as the Scimitar Oryx, exist in Texas and New Mexico in wild game ranches. Gemsboks were released at the White Sands Missile Range and have become an invasive species of concern at the adjacent White Sands National Monument.
