Universal ion trap computation on Decoherence Free Subspaces (DFS) using only two qubit operations is presented. The DFS is constructed for the collective dephasing model. Encoded single and two-qubit logical operations are implemented via the Sorensen-Molmer interaction. Alternation of the effective Hamiltonians for two particular phase configurations of control fields approximates an anisotropic exchange interaction. This is universal over suitable encodings of one logical qubit into three physical qubits which are also DFS under collective decoherence.
