DES - A 56-bit symmetric-key cipher standardized by the US government in the 1970s; for many years DES was considered the 'gold standard' of cryptographic algorithms. Today it is obsolete because of the improvement and availability of ever more advanced computers. As of this writing the most advanced encryption standard promoted by the US government is AES or Advanced Encryption Standard.
