>The small key size was later discovered to be right around the actual security level the cipher provides (larger key sizes would not have improved security by much).
Citation?
- objclxt 13y agoHere's one, from Bruce Schneier some nine years ago: > It took the academic community two decades to figure out that the NSA "tweaks" actually improved the security of DES http://news.cnet.com/Saluting-the-data-encryption-legacy/2010-1029_3-5381232.html http://news.cnet.com/Saluting-the-data-encryption-legacy/201...
- EthanHeilman 13y agoYes, the NSA created sboxes that were resistant to differential cryptanalysis. I was asking for a citation in regard to the claim that: >The small key size was later discovered to be right around the actual security level the cipher provides (larger key sizes would not have improved security by much). I have never heard this claim before and without any source backing it up I am liable to doubt it.
