two areas of concern regarding the level of security provided by des are the nature of the algorithm and the key size.
There are two main types of cryptography in use today - symmetric or secret key cryptography and asymmetric or public key cryptography. Symmetric key cryptography is the oldest type whereas asymmetric cryptography is only being used publicly since the late 1970’s1.
symmetric cryptography was a major milestone in the search for a perfect encryption scheme. Secret key cryptography goes back to at least Egyptian times and is of concern here. It involves the use of only one key which is used for both encryption and decryption (hence the use of the term symmetric). It is necessary for security purposes that the secret key never be revealed.
