  2. Key generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_generation

    Symmetric-key algorithms use a single shared key; keeping data secret requires keeping this key secret. Public-key algorithms use a public key and a private key. The public key is made available to anyone (often by means of a digital certificate). A sender encrypts data with the receiver's public key; only the holder of the private key can ...

  3. Data Encryption Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard

    The Data Encryption Standard (DES / ˌ d iː ˌ iː ˈ ɛ s, d ɛ z /) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Although its short key length of 56 bits makes it too insecure for modern applications, it has been highly influential in the advancement of cryptography.

    Before the round sub-key is selected, each half of the key schedule state is rotated left by a number of places. This table specifies the number of places rotated. • The key is divided into two 28-bit parts • Each part is shifted left (circular) one or two bits • After shifting, two parts are then combined to form a 56 bit temp-key again

  5. Key schedule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_schedule

    DES has a key schedule in which the 56-bit key is divided into two 28-bit halves; each half is thereafter treated separately. In successive rounds, both halves are rotated left by one or two bits (specified for each round), and then 48 round key bits are selected by Permuted Choice 2 (PC-2) – 24 bits from the left half and 24 from the right ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFF_DES_cracker

    In cryptography, the EFF DES cracker (nicknamed "Deep Crack") is a machine built by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in 1998, to perform a brute force search of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher's key space – that is, to decrypt an encrypted message by trying every possible key.

    See traffic encryption key. symmetric key - a key that is used both to encrypt and decrypt a message. Symmetric keys are typically used with a cipher and must be kept secret to maintain confidentiality. traffic encryption key (TEK)/data encryption key (DEK) - a symmetric key that is used to encrypt messages. TEKs are typically changed ...

  8. Triple DES - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES

    In cryptography, Triple DES (3DES or TDES), officially the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA or Triple DEA), is a symmetric-key block cipher, which applies the DES cipher algorithm three times to each data block. The 56-bit key of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) is no longer considered adequate in the face of modern cryptanalytic ...

  9. 56-bit encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/56-bit_encryption

    Encryption was regulated from 1976 by the Arms Export Control Act until control was transferred to the Department of Commerce in 1996. 56-bit refers to the size of a symmetric key used to encrypt data, with the number of unique possible permutations being 2 56 {\displaystyle 2^{56}} (72,057,594,037,927,936).
