Preferred Label : Data Encryption Standard;
NCIt related terms : data encryption standard (DES);
NCIt definition : A Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPs) approved cryptographic algorithm
for enciphering and deciphering binary coded information. The standard specifies both
enciphering and deciphering operations, which are based on a 64-bit binary key.;
Alternative definition : CDISC-GLOSS: A FIPS approved cryptographic algorithm for encrypting (enciphering)
and decrypting (deciphering) binary coded information. Encrypting data converts it
to an unintelligible form called cipher. Decrypting cipher converts the data back
to its original form called plaintext. NOTE: Data that are considered sensitive by
the responsible authority or data that represent a high value should be cryptographically
protected if vulnerable to unauthorized disclosure or undetected modification during
transmission or while in storage. [After Federal Information Processing Standards
(FIPS) Publication 46-2];
