IDEA is a block cipher invented by Xuejia Lai and James Massey in 1991.
|
||
|
|
A block cipher is an encryption algorithm that encrypts the data in blocks.
|
||
|
|
IDEA has a block size of 64 bits, and a keylength of 128 bits. IDEA is a
|
||
|
|
symmetrical algorithm, which means that the same key is used both for
|
||
|
|
encryption and for decryption.
