Hey, could anyone tell me what process DES Encryption goes through, or point me to a site with the information?
Thanx -Buzz- P.S. Please no flames because I am on AOL...
This may not be the absolute best place to start but it is certainly current: <http://www.eff.org/pub/Privacy/Crypto_misc/DESCracker/> This describes the efforts made to show why a 56 bit key for DES is just too short for many purposes. You can probably branch out from links you find there to get more details about S-boxes and other topics.
