As the number of bits in the secret key increases, the number of coding sequences increases Therefore the DES 54-bit key offers more protection than could 32-bit key. DES is best used with triple encryption and proper key management: Triple encryption involves successively encrypting each file of information under three different DES keys. Triple encryption effectively doubles the size of the 52-bit key preventing unauthorized decry ...
