They do exist. One is called KryptoKnight; it has been designed/developed at 
IBM Research (Zurich and Yorktown). You can get a copy of a paper that describes
KryptoKnight by anonymous ftp from jerico.usc.edu. The path is:
pub/gene/kryptoknight.ps.Z

(the paper is to be presented at ESORICS'92) 
Cheers,
Gene

p.s. Feel free to contact me for any additional info. However, I am going on
vacation until August 31st.
