Study Notes

Data Encryption Standard (DES)

  • The key length of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) is 56 bits.
  • The Data Encryption Standard (DES) was developed in the early 1970s by IBM, with the contribution of the National Security Agency (NSA).
  • The earlier design of the DES algorithm was by Horst Feistel.
  • A slightly modified version of DES was published as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 1977.
  • The publication of an NSA-approved encryption standard led to the widespread acceptance of DES as a secure encryption method.
  • The original key length of DES was 56 bits.
  • The modification in the slightly modified version of DES selected by the NBS in 1977 was the reduction of the key length from 128 bits to 56 bits.
  • The impact of the publication of an NSA-approved encryption standard was the widespread adoption of DES as a secure encryption method, which marked a significant milestone in the development of encryption standards.
