ISP Information:
An encryption method developed by IBM in 1977. It uses a private 56-bit key that is applied to each 64- bit block of data. The sender and receiver must each know the private key. Anything encrypted by DES encryption has 72,000,000,000,000,000 (or 72 quadrillion) possible keys. DES encryption has been broken, but it took over 14,000 computers operating in succession to crank through codes until the proper key was found. S
