Symmetric Encryption Algorithms

Data Encryption Standard (DES)

There are many attacks and methods to exploit it, which makes it an insecure block cipher.

3DES

3DES is an enhancement of DES, where the encryption method is similar to the one in original DES but applied three times to increase the encryption level. 3DES is slower than other block cipher methods.
