Does anyone know if there is a validation suite for the IDEA cipher? I want to be able to verify an implementation on the TMS320 digital-signal processor. The NIST has such a test suite for the DES, but I haven't heard anything about IDEA. John A.

Take the PGP IDEA code and produce some test cases for yourself... Perry

There is some sample data included in the appendix to the IDEA description (chapter 3 or someone's thesis) which is floating around the network. This sample data should allow at least a partial validation of your cipher implementation, and arbitrary amounts of it can furthermore be generated by using the sample C implementation contained in the same appendix. This document is widely available, but until the end of the week I have stored it in: ftp.mq.edu.au:/home/ifarqhar/idea-eurocrypt90.zip I do not know how much longer it will remain after Friday, as I will be leaving my position here on that day and moving accounts.
