block cipher designed in 2002 byJorge Nakahara, Jr. ,Vincent Rijmen ,Bart Preneel , andJoos Vandewalle . MESH is based directly on IDEA and uses the same basic operations.MESH is actually a family of 3 variant ciphers with block sizes of 64, 96, and 128 bits. The
key size is twice the block size. The number of rounds is 8.5, 10.5, or 12.5, depending on the block size. The algorithm uses asubstitution-permutation network based on IDEA's, but with a larger round structure, or "MA-box". MESH also has a more complexkey schedule than IDEA, intended to preventweak key s and other insecure patterns in subkeys.References
