There are various elements of DES which are as follows −Use of S-Boxes − The tables used for substitution i.e., the S-boxes, in DES are kept hidden by IBM. IBM supports that it took them over 17 person years to appear up with the internal design of the S-boxes.Key Length ... Read More

This operation expands the right half of the information, R from 32 bits to 48 bits and this operation changes the order of the bits as well as repeating specific bits. It is called an expansion permutation.This operation has two objective including it creates the right half the similar size ... Read More

DES uses 16 rounds. Each of the 16 rounds includes the broad-level steps are as follows −Key Transformation − An initial 64-bit key is changed into a 56-bit key by discarding each 8th bit of the initial key. Therefore for each round, a 56 bit key is available. From this ... Read More

An initial permutation is required only once at the starting of the encryption process. In DES, after the complete plaintext is divided into blocks of 64 bits each, IP is required on each of them. This initial permutation is a phase in the transposition procedure.The initial permutation appears only once, ... Read More

A cryptographic hash function is a transformation that creates an input (or message) and restore a fixed-size string, which is known as the hash value. A hash value h is produced by a function H of the form −h = H(M)where M is the variable length message and H (M) ... Read More

A cryptographic hash function is a numerical function used in cryptography. A cryptographic hash function integrate the message-passing capabilities of hash functions with security features.The term hash function has been used in computer science from quite frequently and it define as a function that compresses a string of arbitrary input ...

DES is a block cipher. The encryption procedure is create of two permutations (Pboxes) that can be defined initial and final permutations, and 16 Feistel rounds. Each round need a different 48-bit round key produced from the cipher key in accordance with a predefined algorithm.DES is based on the two ... Read More

Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a block cipher algorithm that creates plain text in blocks of 64 bits and transform them to ciphertext using keys of 48 bits. It is a symmetric key algorithm, which defines that the similar key is used for encrypting and decrypting information.DES takes a 64-bit ... Read More

There are several applications of cryptographic hash function are as follows −Digital Signature − Hand-written signature is a method to prove that a paper file is signed by us and not by someone else. It can prove this and the current hand-written signature is compared with one or more of ... Read More

The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) was invented by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published in 1993 through the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS PUB 180).SHA depends on and shares the similar building blocks as the MD4 algorithm. The design ... Read More
