The Triple Data Encryption Standard, or Triple DES algorithm, evolved from the original DES algorithm introduced as a standard in 1976 (Reference 2, page 3). DES uses 56 bits of a 64-bit key to ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is proposing that the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a popular encryption algorithm, lose its certification for use in software products ...

To allay the suspicions that the NSA had placed “back doors” in DES, the competition was to be open and public, and the encryption algorithm was available for use royalty-free worldwide.

On March 17, 1975, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) published its proposed Data Encryption Standard (DES) in the Federal Register. The algorithm used a 56-bit encryption key, which (it was ...

“3DES — pronounced trip-DES — is a mode of the DES encryption algorithm that encrypts data three times. Three 64-bit keys are used, instead of one, for an overall key length of 192 bits.

As NIST rolls out advanced PQC standards to address the ‘Harvest now, decrypt later’ threat, a new report suggests that a ...

In an effort led by Roman Rusakov and Alexander Peslyak, the Openwall team’s breakthrough for more optimal DES S-box expressions provides a 17 percent improvement over the previous best results.

The four selected encryption algorithms will become part of NIST's post-quantum cryptographic standard, expected to be finalized around 2024. This selection marks the beginning of NIST's post ...
