Definition
| C. DES encrypts and decrypts data in 64-bit blocks, using a 64-bit key, although the effective key strength is only 56 bits. The least significant (right-most) bit in each byte is a parity bit, and should be set so that there are always an odd number of 1s in every byte. These parity bits are ignored, so only the seven most significant bits of each byte are used, resulting in a key length of 56 bits. |
