All the symmetric encryption algorithms that we have studied so far have some problems with respect to security and efficiency, because some of the earlier encryption algorithms such as S-DES and DES can be broken easily using modern computers. The DES algorithm was broken in 4.5 months using distributed search in January 1997. Subsequently, it was broken in 15 days in 1998 using a high end system that costs about $250,000 [1]. In January 1999, it was broken in 22 hours and 15 minutes using a distributed search. Moreover, it was also not an efficient encryption algorithm since it was very slow to use it in various softwares as it was developed for old softwares and ...
