Abstract
Cryptographic techniques have been widely employed to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and manipulation. Among these cryptographic techniques, Data Encryption Standard (DES) has been widely employed, however, it suffers from key and differential attacks. To overcome these attacks, several DES modifications have been proposed in literatures. Most modifications have focused on enhancing DES encryption key; however, the strength of a cryptographic technique is determined by the encryption key used and the number of encryption rounds. It is a known fact that Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptographic technique with 14 encryption rounds is stronger than AES with 12 rounds while AES with 12 rounds is stronger than AES with 10 rounds. Therefore, this study proposed a DES cryptographic technique whose number of rounds is dynamic. Users are expected to specify the number of encryption and decryption rounds to be employed at run time. Moreover, a predefined number of shifting operations which is left circular shift 2 was chosen for each encryption round. As, a trade-off in complexity, the number of Substitution box (S-box) was also reduced to 4, so that the input to the S-boxes would be arranged in four 12-bit blocks for the X-OR operation and not six 8-bit blocks as in the traditional DES. Finally, three keys were used to encrypt, decrypt and encrypt the plaintext ciphertext as in triple DES. The modified DES yielded a better avalanche effect for rounds greater than 16 though its encryption and decryption time were greater than that of the traditional DES.
