3DES - Triple Data Encryption Standard - Security+

Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm that applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm three times to each data block. It is a block cipher that operates on 64-bit blocks of data and uses a key size of 168 bits (three 56-bit DES keys). The Security+ exam may include questions related to symmetric encryption algorithms, including 3DES. Key areas of focus may include the key size, block size, encryption process, security considerations, and the use of more secure alternatives such as AES.   **🔥 Join the Geekus Maximus Elite! 🔥** If this video saved your day (or just made it brighter), smash that **Like** button and **Subscribe**!
