IDEA is a symmetric block cipher that operates on 64-bit (8 byte) quantities.
The cipher text is then encrypted to generate the next 64 bits to be xored (incrementally) with the next 64 bits of plain text.
As can be seen from this, to encrypt or decrypt, the same 'cipher stream' needs to be generated but the way the next block of data is gathered for encryption is different for encryption and decryption.

IDEA is a block cipher, operating on 64-bit data blocks: 64 bits of plaintext go in one end and 64-bits of ciphertext come out the other.
IDEA's key length is 128 bits--over twice as long as the DES key.

 United States Patent 5,727,062   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
A chaining mode is not a block cipher in the sense of the present application, and the '152 patent does not handle the variable size block ciphers of the present application.
All ciphers are made from smaller components, and many block ciphers have operations in layers of some form or other, but it is unusual to find a block cipher design in which each layer can be easily extended (in element-size steps) to arbitrary size.
The problem of matching a cipher to existing or optimal data block sizes so as to better fit a particular application is a problem with which the literature does not seem particularly concerned.

 Cipher - FAQ
Cipher was originally developed by Synaptic Soup to provide it with a game engine that it could re-use for multiple games in different genres, with Quake-like features.
Cipher has been used to produce a game that runs on a Pentium II 300Mhz with a Rage 128, which is a very low spec machine by today's standards.
Cipher's model file formats are fully documented in the programmers manual, so if your team needs support for a specific tool, your programmers will have all the information they need to develop an exporter.

 IDEA
While the speed of computers continues to increase and their cost decrease at a very rapid pace, it will probably never get to the point that IDEA could be broken by the brute force attack.
The only type of attack that might succeed is one that tries to solve the problem from a mathematical standpoint by analyzing the transformations that take place between plain text blocks, and their cipher text equivalents.
It appears that there is no algorithm much better suited to solving an IDEA cipher than the brute force attack (which in practice is impossible).

 Fred Cohen & Associates
We begin with a classification scheme for ciphers given by Gary Knight [Knight78] in the first of a series of articles which posed ciphers to the reader, and after a given period of time demonstrated reader solutions along with explanations of how they solved the ciphers.
The general case of this sort of cipher is the "monoalphabetic substitution cipher" wherein each letter is mapped into another letter in a one to one fashion.
At first, the military used a Vigenere cipher with a short repeating keyword, but in 1863, a solution was discovered by Friedrich W. Kasiski for all periodic polyalphabetic ciphers which up until this time were considered unbreakable, so the military had to search for a new cipher to replace the Vigenere.

 United States Patent 5,623,549; Part A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Block ciphers, in combination with balanced block mixers and/or with substitution mechanisms, produce cryptographic mechanisms with block sizes that are combinations of the sizes of the block ciphers.
Furthermore, the terms "cipher" and "ciphering" are employed to refer generally to both enciphering and deciphering.
Cipher mechanisms are also enhanced by transforming their inputs and outputs using balanced block mixers and arrays of substitution mechanisms.

 ciphers
List ciphers with a complete description of proto- col version (SSLv2 or SSLv3; the latter includes TLS), key exchange, authentication, encryption and mac algorithms used along with any key size restrictions and whether the algorithm is classed as an "export" cipher.
Note that without the -v option, ciphers may seem to appear twice in a cipher list; this is when similar ciphers are available for SSL v2 and for SSL v3/TLS v1.
These cipher suites are vulnerable to a "man in the middle" attack and so their use is normally discouraged.

 radicals
In general, a single cipher algorithm is used during all data transmission but, as there are many algorithms and they cause different loads in end hosts, their inclusion in the adaptation mechanism makes sense and gives an additional degree of freedom to the programmer and user.
In general, the ciphering algorithms do not increase the amount of data to be sent, except possibly by a small quantity, so the bandwidth used is not affected by the ciphering scheme.
The ciphering and deciphering components are specific to each kind of cipher: IDEA, DES, etc. For instance, an IDEA deciphering component gets a frame, ciphers it and passes it to the RTP component (fig.

Second Rekeying Recommendation Because of a birthday property of block ciphers and some modes of operation, implementations must be careful not to encrypt too many blocks with the same encryption key.
If an SSH implementation uses a block cipher with a larger block size (e.g., Rijndael with 256-bit blocks), then the recommendations in Section 3.1 may supersede the recommendations in this subsection (depending on the lengths of the packets).
One property of counter mode encryption is that it does not require that messages be padded to a multiple of the block cipher's block length.

 ISS X-Force Database: ssh-idea-modify-packets(6472): SSH1 using IDEA cipher could allow the modification of packets
SSH (Secure Shell) version 1 using the IDEA cipher in cipher feedback (CFB) mode could allow a remote attacker to modify SSH packets.
An attacker could intercept an SSH packet, modify the last block of the SSH stream and the CRC checksum, and retransmit the packet to the victim with the changes remaining undetected.
CVE-2001-1470: The IDEA cipher as implemented by SSH1 does not protect the final block of a message against modification, which allows remote attackers to modify the block without detection by changing its cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to match the modifications to the message.
