CONCLUSION

As we toward a society where automated information resources are increased and cryptography will continue to increase in importance as a security mechanism. Electronic networks for banking, shopping, inventory control, benefit and service delivery, information storage and retrieval, distributed processing, and government applications will need improved methods for access control and data security. The information security can be easily achieved by using Cryptography technique. DES is now considered to be insecure for some applications like banking system. there are also some analytical results which demonstrate theoretical weaknesses in the cipher. So it becomes very important to augment this algorithm by adding new levels of security to make it applicable. By adding additional key, modified S-Box design, modifies function implementation and replacing the old XOR by a new operation as proposed by this thesis to give more robustness to DES algorithm and make it stronger against any kind of intruding. DES Encryption with two keys instead of one key already will increase the efficiency of cryptography.
