The DES cipher should no longer be considered secure. Please consider
|
||
|
using a more modern alternative.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The bdes utility implements all DES modes of operation described in FIPS
|
||
|
PUB 81, including alternative cipher feedback mode and both authentica-
|
||
|
tion modes. The bdes utility reads from the standard input and writes to
|
||
|
the standard output. By default, the input is encrypted using cipher
|
||
|
block chaining (CBC) mode. Using the same key for encryption and decryp-
|
||
|
tion preserves plain text.
