DES Encryption Algorithm Implementation

---

This repository contains a Java implementation of the DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption algorithm.

Overview

---

The DES algorithm is a legacy cryptography algorithm technique that was used to encrypt and decrypt 64-bit texts using 64-bit keys, it runs for 16 rounds making it more difficult to crack than other legacy techniques.

Features

---

• Implementation of the DES encryption algorithm in Java
• Supports encryption and decryption of binary and text data
• Includes a DES class for encrypting and decrypting
• Includes a DES_Utility class for various utilities used within the project
• Includes a Key class for generating and managing DES keys
• Includes a Des_Tables class for confusion and diffusion operations

Usage

---

To use this implementation, simply clone the repository and import it into your Java project. You can then use the DES class to encrypt and decrypt data. No external libraries are required.
