As far as understand, import/export of -documents- on crypto
algorithms is not illegal. There is a PostScript document, describing
the IDEA, available from our ftp site:

ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de:/pub/virus/texts/security/idea.zip

It should be trivial to implement the algorithm from the description.
