I have written a DES program in pascal for a term project and I have to do a talk about it soon and I would like to ask some questions for anybody to respond to, thanks in advance. 1. How much is DES used and who uses it? 2. Does anybody really know what the numbers in the S-Boxes are and where they got them. 3. Where is the DES implemented? I heard about it being put into those instant cash machines, is that true? 4. Does anybody know about the DES and unix, I know they use it there, but how much did they change it? 5. What does the NSA know about the DES that we don't? Do they have a machine to crack it? 6. Are there any DES jokes or other names for DES? Thanks, any help would be helpful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pat Kenny on the edge of infinity (DULUTH MN).
