+IDEA Vector Creation
+=====================
+
+This page documents the code that was used to generate the IDEA CBC, CFB, and
+OFB test vectors as well as the code used to verify them against another
+implementation. For IDEA the vectors were generated using OpenSSL and verified
+with Go.
+
+Creation
+--------
+
+``cryptography`` was modified to support IDEA in CBC, CFB, and OFB modes. Then
+the following python script was run to generate the vector files.
+
+.. literalinclude:: /development/custom-vectors/idea/generate_idea.py

+
+
+Verification
+------------
+
+The following python code was used to verify the vectors using the `Botan`_
+project's Python bindings.
