Class IDEAEngine

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    BlockCipher

    public class IDEAEngine
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements BlockCipher
    A class that provides a basic International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) engine.

    This implementation is based on the "HOWTO: INTERNATIONAL DATA ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM" implementation summary by Fauzan Mirza (F.U.Mirza@sheffield.ac.uk). (barring 1 typo at the end of the mulinv function!).

    It can be found at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/crypt/cryptography/symmetric/idea/

    Note: This algorithm was patented in the USA, Japan and Europe. These patents expired in 2011/2012.

        public void init​(boolean forEncryption,
                         CipherParameters params)
        initialise an IDEA cipher.
        Specified by:
        init in interface BlockCipher
        Parameters:
        forEncryption - whether or not we are for encryption.
        params - the parameters required to set up the cipher.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.
      • getAlgorithmName

        public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()
        Description copied from interface: BlockCipher
        Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
        Specified by:
        getAlgorithmName in interface BlockCipher
        Returns:
        the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
      • getBlockSize

        public int getBlockSize()
        Description copied from interface: BlockCipher
        Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).
        Specified by:

        public int processBlock​(byte[] in,
                                int inOff,
                                byte[] out,

        Specified by:
        processBlock in interface BlockCipher
        Parameters:
        in - the array containing the input data.
        inOff - offset into the in array the data starts at.
        out - the array the output data will be copied into.
        outOff - the offset into the out array the output will start at.
        Returns:
        the number of bytes processed and produced.
      • reset

        public void reset()
        Description copied from interface: BlockCipher
        Reset the cipher. After resetting the cipher is in the same state as it was after the last init (if there was one).
        Specified by:
        reset in interface BlockCipher
