Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
For commercial business applications, the cryptographic process that is known as the Data Encryption Algorithm (DEA) has been widely adopted. The Data Encryption Standard (DES), as well as other documents, defines how to use the DES algorithm to encipher data. 2, record 1, English, - Data%20Encryption%20Algorithm
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
DES is now considered to be insecure for many applications. This is chiefly due to the 56-bit key size being too small; DES keys have been broken in less than 24 hours. 9, record 1, English, - Data%20Encryption%20Algorithm
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Data Encryption Standard: In some documentation, a distinction is made between DES as a standard, and the algorithm, which is referred to as the DEA (the Data Encryption Algorithm). 9, record 1, English, - Data%20Encryption%20Algorithm
