DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a symmetric encryption algorithm developed by IBM in the 1970s and widely used in data encryption. It uses a 56-bit key to encrypt data, but due to the limited key length, it is gradually considered insecure. For this reason, 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Algorithm) was designed to improve security by three times encryption. 3DES uses two or three different sets of keys to greatly increase its encryption strength.
The tool provides encryption and decryption functions through DES and 3DES algorithms. Users can input plaintext, select keys, generate encrypted ciphertext, or input ciphertext for decryption operations. It is suitable for data transmission, file storage and other scenarios requiring high security.
Examples:A company needs to send employee payroll information, which can be encrypted with 3DES before transmission to prevent interception by a third party.
