How Encryption Works

people).

1. Triple DES

Triple D (hp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_D) wa deigned to replace the


original Data ncrpon tandard (D) algorithm, which hacker eventuall
learned to defeat with relave eae. At one me, Triple D wa the
recommended tandard and the mot widel ued mmetric algorithm in the
indutr.
Triple D ue three individual ke with 56 it each. The total ke length add
