Why is the Data Encryption Standard (DES) considered vulnerable to brute-force attacks, and how does modern computational power affect its security?

Wednesday, 12 June 2024 by EITCA Academy

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Initially adopted as a federal standard in the United States in 1977, DES has played a significant role in the history of cryptography. However, DES is now considered vulnerable to brute-force attacks due to several factors, including its relatively short
