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. Together with Joan Daemen, Vincent Rijmen designed the Rijndael block cipher, which was selected as the Advanced Encryption Standard in 2000. ...

In cryptography, the key size (alternatively key length) is a measure of the number of possible keys which can be used in a cipher. ... In modern cryptography, symmetric key ciphers are generally divided into stream ciphers and block ciphers. ... In cryptography, an SP-network, or substitution-permutation network (SPN), is a series of linked mathematical operations used in block cipher algorithms such as AES. These networks consist of S-boxes and P-boxes that transform blocks of input bits into output bits. ... Encryption Decryption In cryptography, a block cipher is a symmetric key cipher which operates on fixed-length groups of bits, termed blocks, with an unvarying transformation. ...

MESH is actually a family of 3 variant ciphers with block sizes of 64, 96, and 128 bits. The key is twice the length of the block. The number of rounds is 8.5, 10.5, or 12.5, depending on the block size. The algorithm uses a substitution-permutation network based on IDEA's, but with a larger round structure, or "MA-box". MESH also has a more complex key schedule than IDEA, intended to prevent weak keys and other insecure patterns in subkeys. In cryptography, an SP-network, or substitution-permutation network (SPN), is a series of linked mathematical operations used in block cipher algorithms such as AES. These networks consist of S-boxes and P-boxes that transform blocks of input bits into output bits. ... The key-schedule of DES In cryptography, the algorithm for computing the subkeys for each round in a product cipher from the encryption (or decryption) key is called the key schedule. ... In cryptography, a weak key is a key which when used with a specific cipher, makes the cipher behave in some undesirable way. ...

Mesh networks are naturally self-healing and redundant—exactly the property needed for industrial automation networks.
In a mesh network, each station is responsible for forwarding a network transmission not intended for itself to other stations within its radio range.
Because mesh networks that work in industrial automation tend to have 256 or fewer nodes, routing tables can be small and the routing simple.
