Nikkei Industrial Daily, October 08, 1996 Mitsubishi publicizes MISTY encryption algorithm Mitsubishi Electric Corp. said it has released the design principles for its data encryption algorithm MISTY. In doing so, the company can enlist third-party users to evaluate the integrity and power of its encryption algorithm and gain wider name recognition for MISTY. To make evaluations easier, the company is also providing a sample program. The existing de-facto world standard encryption algorithms DES and RSA were both developed in the U.S. But MISTY has advantages of its own and Mitsubishi would like encryption experts around the world evaluate the program. [End] No information given on the source for the algorithm or sample program. Anyone with the info care to share?
