International Data Encryption Algorithm

(algorithm, cryptography)

(IDEA) A conventional encryption algorithm, written by Xuejia Lai and James Massey, in 1992.

It is a block cipher, considered to be the best and most secure available, and operates on 64-bit blocks with a 128 bit key.

It is used by Pretty Good Privacy.

Although there exist some classical schemes such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) for information security [1], they usually cannot be directly applied to image encryption to yield satisfactory results due to some intrinsic properties of images such as bulky data capacity, strong correlation, and high redundancy [2-4].
