Triple DES
Since DES uses a 56-bit key it is vulnerable to attack. Is it possible to use DES, but make the effective key length longer than 56 bits?
Suppose C = EK(P), where E is DES encryption of plaintext P with key K, and C is the resulting ciphertext. Let D be the corresponding decryption, so that P = DK(C).
The accepted way of making DES more secure is to use two keys, K1 and K2 in "EDE" mode
