DES Encryption

This online tool helps you encrypt text or a file from local storage or a URL using DES. It supports various modes and padding schemes. It also supports PBKDF2 or EvpKDF, with customizable salt, iteration, and hash settings.

FAQ

What is DES encryption and how does it work?

DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a symmetric block cipher using a 56-bit key. Encrypt data here and decrypt with DES decryption.

Is DES secure today?

DES's 56-bit key is vulnerable to brute-force attacks. Prefer Triple DES or AES.

Which DES mode should I choose?

Use CBC/CTR/CFB/OFB with a random IV; avoid ECB. Configure mode in this DES tool.

How do I derive a DES key from a passphrase?

Use PBKDF2 or EvpKDF with sufficient iterations and salt; see the options in the sidebar.

Can I decrypt DES without key and IV?

No. You need the same key and IV/mode used to encrypt. Try DES decryption.
