Blake:
3. Section 2.6, first sentence: Is the reference to
[DES] dangling?
It would seem that one reference to tripleDES would be sufficient.
Not dangling -- [DES] tells you how to implement DES, [3DES] tells you how
to implement triple-DES, but not DES.
By the way, I think that the 3DES reference sucks (a 1979 IEEE Spectrum
article?). Any suggestions?
Here are the best reference I can find:
3DES American National Standards Institute. ANSI X9.52-1998,
Triple Data Encryption Algorithm Modes of Operation. 1998.
DES American National Standards Institute. ANSI X3.106,
"American National Standard for Information Systems - Data
Link Encryption". 1983.
