You can use DES if only the keys are known, and you are the only one to use the key on your key-generating device. Because of its importance, DES is also often referred to as the “Achilles heel of the computer”. For symmetric algorithms, the keys are the same for all users. It is widely used and is widely considered to be the most secure asymmetric algorithm. DES - Cryptographic Algorithm DES.ĭES is a symmetric algorithm with four key values (known as keys).
This particular page is a guide for the understanding of the problems of the cryptographic algorithm DES and its variants. This is a comprehensive guide to understand all aspects of cryptography solutions. The reason we have taken this step is that only the most important issues are covered in our guides and our customers can have confidence while reading the documents.
