Developed in the 1970s, DES was the global standard for decades before its 56-bit key became vulnerable to modern brute-force attacks.
3DES was introduced to extend the life of DES by applying the algorithm three times to each data block, significantly increasing the effective key length to combat brute-force attacks. DES and 3DES
This guide covers the and its more secure successor, Triple DES (3DES) . Both are symmetric-key block ciphers that encrypt data in 64-bit blocks. 1. Data Encryption Standard (DES) Developed in the 1970s, DES was the global
Uses a Feistel network consisting of 16 rounds of processing. Both are symmetric-key block ciphers that encrypt data
Rearranges the 64 bits of the input block.
56-bit effective key length (plus 8 parity bits for a total of 64 bits). Block Size: 64 bits. Process Steps:
The inverse of the initial permutation to produce the final ciphertext. 2. Triple DES (3DES)
