P.S. Just out of curiosity, what in the heck is "DES/SK"?
any references?
It is an improvement on DES from Uri Blumenthal and Steve Bellovin. Here's a
reference: <http://www.research.att.com/~smb/papers/ides.pdf>. It's a way to
get reasonable security out of DES without having to do 3DES. It's a pretty
cool idea, but it never went anywhere, for a number of reasons.
And with the advent of AES, I don't forsee anyone using it.
