<short>The IDEA unit provides IDEA encryption support</short>
<descr>
<p>Besides some low level IDEA encryption routines, the IDEA unit also offers 2
streams which offer on-the-fly encryption or decryption: there are 2 stream
objects: A write-only encryption stream which encrypts anything that is
written to it, and a decryption stream which decrypts anything that is read
from it.</p>
