What is DES-X?
In [[cryptography]], '''DES-X''' (or '''DESX''') is an alternative to the [[Data Encryption Standard|DES]] (Data Encryption Standard) [[block cipher]] designed to increase the complexity of a [[brute force attack]] using a technique called ''[[key whitening]]''. As [[Data Encryption Standard|DES]] suffers from [[brute force attack]] '''DES-X''' was a trial to overcome such drawbacks. ==Related pages== * [[Advanced Encryption Standard]] (AES) * [[Data Encryption Standard]] (DES) * [[Triple DES]] (TDES) == References == {{reflist}} {{math-stub}} [[Category:Cryptography]]
