Iraqi block cipher: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

In cryptography, the Iraqi block cipher was a block cipher published in source code form by anonymous FTP upload around July 1999, and widely distributed on Usenet. Like the S-1 block cipher, it is generally regarded as a hoax (although of lesser quality compared to S-1); and like S-1, it was David Wagner who first spotted a serious security flaw.
