(IDG) -- RSA Data Security will host another contest to break the U.S. government's Data Encryption Standard at the RSA Data Security Conference in San Jose, Calif., in January.
The 56-bit DES encryption algorithm is widely used and has been broken in the contest before, most recently in July in a record three days.
