In cryptography, MESH is a block cipher designed in 2002 by Jorge Nakahara, Jr., Vincent Rijmen, Bart Preneel, and Joos Vandewalle.
MESH is based directly on IDEA and uses the same basic operations.
MESH is actually a family of 3 variant ciphers with block sizes of 64, 96, and 128 bits.
The number of rounds is 8.5, 10.5, or 12.5, depending on the block size.
The algorithm uses a Lai–Massey scheme based on IDEA's, but with a larger round structure, or "MA-box".
