Integral attack on 7 round NXT-64 with time complexity of 2237.4 and on 5 round NXT-128 with time complexity of 2205.6 by Wu Wenling, Zhang Wentao, and Feng Dengguo.

In cryptography, the IDEA NXT algorithm (previously known as FOX) is a block cipher designed by Pascal Junod and Serge Vaudenay of EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland). It was conceived between 2001 and 2003, the project was originally named FOX and was published in 2003. In May 2005 it was announced by MediaCrypt under the name IDEA NXT. IDEA NXT is the successor of the IDEA algorithm and it uses an extended Lai-Massey scheme known for its robustness to cryptanalysis. It was mandated by MediaCrypt, a Swiss company owner of the distribution rights on IDEA and the patents of IDEA NXT. The IDEA NXT cipher is a family of different sub-ciphers with various blocks and keys size : Standard NXT64 (block of 64 bits, key of 128 bits, 16 rounds) and Standard NXT128 (block of 128 bits, key of 256 bits, 16 rounds). Variations of the Standard versions can be built (key of 0-256 bits, round numbers from 2-255). Also individual tables (sbox, permutation matrix) can be loaded, replacing the Standard table.

International Data Encryption Algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (492 words)
IDEA was used in Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) V2.0, and was incorporated after the original cipher used in v1.0 ("Bass-O-Matic") was found to be insecure.
IDEA operates on 64-bit blocks using a 128-bit key, and consists of a series of eight identical transformations (a round, see the illustration) and an output transformation (the half-round).
IDEA derives much of its security by interleaving operations from different groups — modular addition and multiplication, and bitwise eXclusive OR (XOR) — which are algebraically "incompatible" in some sense.
21st-NXT/Azima (3727 words)
Small NXT panels still have to be combined with a conventional woofer to cover the lowest two or three octaves in high quality applications, but the necessary crossover is far removed from the ear's most sensitive region around 3kHz - precisely where most conventional loudspeakers are forced to hand over to the tweeter.
NXT panels behave quite differently because of the diffuse nature of their radiation: their sound does not emanate from a fixed, well-defined point in space.
The unique ability of NXT panels to fill a room with a sound field which alters very little as the listener changes position is further enhanced by the reduced fall-off in sound pressure level with distance compared with a conventional loudspeaker (Figure 12).
