For the Caesar cipher, double encryption does not increase security. DES is not a group; double encryption is not equivalent to single encryption. Security does increase by double encryption, but it does not increase much.
Double DES uses two instances of DES ciphers for encryption and two instances of reverse ciphers for decryption. Each instance uses a different key, which means that the size of the key is 112 bits.
Double DES is a encryption technique which uses two instance of DES on same plain text. In both instances it uses different keys to encrypt the plain text. Both keys are required at the time of decryption.
To create the singly encrypted ciphertext, first use the key K2 to decrypt the double encrypted cipher-text block. The original plaintext block can be retrieved by decrypting this ciphertext block with key K1. If it is capable of using a single-bit key, t
