- <!-- <p>The Data Encryption Standard (DES) defines an algorithm for -->
- <!-- encrypting and decrypting an 8 byte quantity using an 8 byte key -->
- <!-- (actually only 56 bits of the key is used). -->
- <!-- </p> -->
- <!-- <p>When it comes to encrypting and decrypting blocks that are -->
- <!-- multiples of 8 bytes various modes are defined (NIST SP -->
- <!-- 800-38A). One of those modes is the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) -->
- <!-- mode, where the encryption of an 8 byte segment depend not only -->
- <!-- of the contents of the segment itself, but also on the result of -->
- <!-- encrypting the previous segment: the encryption of the previous -->
- <!-- segment becomes the initializing vector of the encryption of the -->
- <!-- current segment. -->
- <!-- </p> -->
- <!-- <p>Thus the encryption of every segment depends on the encryption -->
- <!-- key (which is secret) and the encryption of the previous -->
- <!-- segment, except the first segment which has to be provided with -->
- <!-- an initial initializing vector. That vector could be chosen at -->
- <!-- random, or be a counter of some kind. It does not have to be -->
- <!-- secret. -->
- <!-- </p> -->
- <!-- <p>The following example is drawn from the old FIPS 81 standard -->
- <!-- (replaced by NIST SP 800-38A), where both the plain text and the -->
- <!-- resulting cipher text is settled. The following code fragment -->
