Experiment 1 - DES Key Generation
How many subkeys are generated in the DES key generation process?
Which component of the DES key generation is responsible for selecting 48 out of 56 bits to create a subkey?
Total number of left shifts across all DES rounds is:
DES produces 16 round keys. If you mistakenly do two left shifts in round 2 (instead of 1), how many round keys will become wrong?
In the DES algorithm, although the key size is 64 bits, only 48bits are used for the encryption procedure, the rest are parity bits.
