What is DES?

DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a legacy symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Although its short key length of 56 bits makes it too insecure for most modern applications, it was highly influential in the advancement of cryptography.

Security Warning

DES is considered cryptographically broken. It is susceptible to brute-force attacks due to its small key size. For any new application, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) should be used instead.
