Network Security and Forensics
Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. It uses a fixed-length key and operates on 64-bit blocks of data, making it a foundational technology in the field of symmetric-key cryptography. While it was widely used for securing sensitive information, its relatively short key length made it vulnerable to brute-force attacks as computing power increased over time.
congrats on reading the definition of DES. now let's actually learn it.
