FEAL is dead; I wouldn't ever use it in any new product. Use triple-DES instead.
What kind of method was FEAL decoded in? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

All of them. If you take a look at _Applied Cryptography (2nd Edition)_, you will find a number of different methods that have been used against FEAL. It seems that whenever someone comes up with a new method of cryptanalysis, they use it on FEAL first. (Or at least it seems that way...) There are much better solutions.
