What follows is the core of the IDEA cipher system. Starting with a
random key and a random dataIn and then feeding back the dataOut
successively as dataIn, a pretty strong URNG should result. It generates
16 bytes at a time. I don't think much is known about its statistical
properties but it is known to be a strong cipher.
