this.description="DES is a previously dominant algorithm for encryption, and was published as an official U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). It is now considered to be insecure due to its small key size.<br><br><b>Key:</b> DES uses a key length of 8 bytes (64 bits).<br>Triple DES uses a key length of 24 bytes (192 bits).<br><br>You can generate a password-based key using one of the KDF operations.<br><br><b>IV:</b> The Initialization Vector should be 8 bytes long. If not entered, it will default to 8 null bytes.<br><br><b>Padding:</b> In CBC and ECB mode, PKCS#7 padding will be used.";
