just grepping:

modules/x-net/src/main/java/org/apache/harmony/xnet/provider/jsse/CipherSuite.java
107:    static byte[] code_TLS_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA = { 0x00, 0x07 };
157:    static CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA = new CipherSuite(

"IDEA_CBC",
159:            "SHA", code_TLS_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA);
256:            TLS_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA,
417:        } else if ("IDEA_CBC".equals(cipherName)) {
418:            this.cipherName = "IDEA/CBC/NoPadding";
