Triple DES performs the same operation as double DES. Triple DES using two keys K1 & K2 while encrypting plain text. First it performs encryption on plaintext P, which is encrypted using K1 obtains first cipher text C1. Again, this cipher text is encr
Both of these versions were commonly used for many years to provide more security than DES and technically are still secure, since computers can't yet quickly try 2112 or 2168 possible key combinations.
To prevent this from happening double DES and triple DES were introduced which are much more secured than the original DES because it uses 112 and 168 bit keys respectively.
A Triple DES two-key version exists, where the same algorithm runs three times but K1 is used for the first and last steps. This two-key variant was retired in 2015.
In this video, we explore Triple DES (3DES), the standard that replaced DES to defend against brute-force attacks. We explain the complete working mechanism, specifically the...
