Abstract

In this article, a simplified version of the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) is described. This simplified version, like simplified versions of DES [8-128, 9, 10, 11, 12] and AES [6, 7] that have appeared in print, is intended to help students understand the algorithm by providing a version that permits examples to be worked by hand. IDEA is useful teaching tool to help students bridge the gap between DES and AES.
