Ned, back in the early days of DES I presented a paper to the IACR concerning the expected cycle length of DES in Output Feedback Mode. Donald Davies did a rather similar analysis, beginning with a different set of assumptions. Although the conclusions differed slightly, the average length of a DES cycle was absolutely huge. If ANYONE has succeeded in finding a cycle in DES OFB (other than that resulting from a weak or semiweak key), I would like to know the reference.
