Master the IDEA Encryption Algorithm for Security+ Certification 🔐

The International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) is a symmetric key block cipher that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. IDEA was designed as a cryptographic algorithm to provide confidentiality for digital communications. It was proposed as an alternative to other block ciphers like DES (Data Encryption Standard).

While Security+ may cover historical encryption algorithms, the emphasis is often on modern and widely accepted algorithms like AES. Understanding the basic principles of symmetric key encryption, including block ciphers and SPN structures, contributes to a foundational understanding of cryptography in the context of the Security+ exam.
