DES - Data Encryption Standard - Security+

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a symmetric-key block cipher that was widely used for encryption of electronic data. Developed by IBM in the 1970s, DES became a federal standard in 1977. However, due to advances in computing power and the emergence of more secure algorithms, DES is considered obsolete for modern cryptographic applications. For the Security+ exam, understanding the basics of the Data Encryption Standard is relevant in the context of historical encryption algorithms, symmetric-key cryptography, and the importance of using more secure algorithms for contemporary security needs.   **🔥 Join the Geekus Maximus Elite! 🔥** If this video saved your day (or just made it brighter), smash that **Like** button and **Subscribe**!
