DES

DES is one of encription algorithms , it's an acronym for Data Encription Standard
Oginally DES was developed by IBM in early 1970 as lucifer.
it's symetric and its key length is 64bits (8bits are used for parety),meaning that
there are 72,057,594,037,927,936 possible keys (56bits).
at that time (~1970) it was good algorithm for encription and decription but it's cracked
When computers became powerful.
