data encryption standard (des)
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a method of encrypting data to ensure secure communication and protect sensitive information. It is a symmetric key algorithm that uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. DES operates by taking blocks of plain text and scrambling them using the key, making it unreadable to unauthorized individuals.
