Data Encryption Standard, or DES, is a type of encryption cipher that shields and disguises sensitive information, so it can't be seen or retrieved by cyberattacks.DES can be described as a block cipher, encryption/ symmetric -key algorithm. A symmetric key means the same algorithm/key is used for encryption and decryption. On the other hand, asymmetric keys use two different keys – one public and the other private, respectively.History of DES and Current SituationDES was developed in 1971 by Horst Feistel, a cryptography researcher working at IBM. It was based on "LUCIFER, " the Feistel block cipher, 16 rounds of which ... Read More
