DES: Data Encryption Standard

Semplice Data Encryption Standard and Encoder strumento Decoder

Data encryption standard was widely adopted by the industry in security products. Plain text is encrypted in blocks of 64 bits yielding 64 bits of cipher text.

The algorithm which is parameterized by a 56 bit key has 19 distinct stages.

The first stage is a key independent. Transposition and the last stage is exactly inverse of the transposition.

The remaining stages are functionally identical but are parameterized by different functions of the key. The algorithm has been designed to allow decryption to be done with the same key as encryption
