In AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) the 16 S-boxes in each round are identical. All these S-boxes implement the inverse function in the Galois Field GF(28 ), […]

DES (Data Encryption Standard) although an elegantly designed cipher has become old. Its n = 56 bit. DES (Data Encryption Standard) although an elegantly designed cipher has become old. Its n = 56 bit key is being challenged by the present day computation power. As an alternative, it was thought of applying DES twice, i.e […]
