 | | In 1977 the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a symmetric algorithm, was adopted in the United States as a federal standard. | | | A subsequent compromise escrow scheme intended to create a standard for data encryption that balanced the needs of national security, law enforcement, and personal freedom was rejected in 1995; a compromise proposed in 1999 was also controversial. | | | DES and the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) are the two most commonly used symmetric techniques. |

| | Data Encryption Standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Data Encryption Standard ( DES) is a cipher (a method for encrypting information) selected as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 1976, and which has subsequently enjoyed widespread use internationally. | | | Despite the criticisms, DES was approved as a federal standard in November 1976, and published on 15 January 1977 as FIPS PUB 46, authorised for use on all unclassified data. | | | This greatly simplifies implementation, particularly in hardware, as there is no need for separate encryption and decryption algorithms. |

| | The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) specifies a FIPS-approved Cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data. | | | This is to be a new encryption standard to replace the existing Data Encryption Standard (DES), which had been in place for more than two decades. | | | AES (Rijndael) has become the encryption algorithm of choice for all new developments requiring a high degree of data security with the added flexibility of variable key and data block sizes. |

| | Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely-used method of data encryption using a private (secret) key that was judged so difficult to break by the U.S. government that it was restricted for exportation to other countries. | | | Since there is some concern that the encryption algorithm will remain relatively unbreakable, NIST has indicated DES will not be recertified as a standard and submissions for its replacement are being accepted. | | | Concerned that the encryption algorithm could be used by unfriendly governments, the U.S. government has prevented export of the encryption software. |

| | In 1977 the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a symmetric algorithm, was adopted in the United States as a federal standard. | | | Data encryption is regarded by the U.S. government as a national-security issue because it can interfere with intelligence gathering—therefore, it is subject to export controls, which in turn make it difficult for U.S. companies to function competitively in the international marketplace. | | | Until 1976 the algorithms were symmetric, that is, the key used to encrypt the plaintext was the same as the key used to decrypt the ciphertext. |

| | The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology specification for the encryption of electronic data. | | | DES was approved as a Federal standard in 1977 and remained viable until 1998 when a combination of advances in hardware, software, and cryptanalysis theory allowed a DES-encrypted message to be decrypted in 56 hours. | | | All of the operations used by the AES encryption algorithm are invertible, so the decryption algorithm essentially reverses all the operations performed by encryption. |

| | Advanced Encryption Standard - crypto for the next century |
| | It is the selection of the Advanced Encryption Standard, a successor to the venerable Data Encryption Standard encryption algorithm, which was developed by IBM in the 1970s. | | | While it may seem odd that the algorithm of the future needs to run on the hardware of the past, the vision is that this encryption needs to work on nontraditional devices, such as smart cards, where the resources are still predicted to be modest for a while. | | | This will likely give AES the critical mass it needs to be the encryption technology integrated into computers large and small to secure e-commerce and financial transactions, as well as protecting the privacy of individual communications. |
