38 /*----- Notes on the IDEA block cipher ------------------------------------*
40 * IDEA was invented by James Massey and Xuejia Lai. The fundamental idea
41 * underlying the cipher is combining incompatible group operations. The
42 * algorithm's main claim to fame is that it is the symmetric cipher in PGP
45 * The IDEA algorithm is allegedly patented by Ascom Tech A.G., even in the
46 * UK and Europe. Ascom are willing to grant licences for use in software
47 * which forbids commercial use, but this is not compatible with Free
48 * Software Foundation ideology. The author recommends against the use of
49 * the IDEA cipher entirely. Blowfish is conceptually simpler, appears more
50 * concervative, offers a larger keyspace, runs faster, and is in the public
