What is the purpose of the initial permutation (IP) in the DES algorithm?
What is the purpose of the initial permutation (IP) in the DES algorithm?
- To provide a simple way to reverse the encryption process during decryption
- To increase the diffusion of the plaintext across the ciphertext (correct)
- To ensure that the same plaintext blocks do not produce the same ciphertext blocks
- To generate the initial key for the encryption process

What is the purpose of the 16 rounds of calculation in the DES algorithm?
What is the purpose of the 16 rounds of calculation in the DES algorithm?
- To perform a simple substitution cipher on the plaintext block
- To provide multiple layers of substitution and permutation operations on the plaintext block (correct)
- To generate the key schedule for the encryption process
- To ensure that the encryption process is reversible during decryption
