MULTIPLE ENCRYPTION
The process of encrypting data more than once using
several encryption algorithms or keys is known as
multiple encryption, sometimes known as cascade
encryption or nested encryption.
In cryptography, multiple encryption is used to
increase the security and confidentiality of sensitive
data. Here are some important details regarding the
intent behind multiple encryption

DOUBLE DES

DOUBLE DES
Encryption
Consider 64 bits of plaintext and encrypt plaintext
using DES algorithm that uses subkey K1.. The
intermediate output X is again reencrypted with
DES algorithm that uses subkey K2. Finally we get
ciphertext C.

DOUBLE DES
Decryption:
Consider 64 bits of ciphertext and decrypt
ciphertext using DES algorithm that uses subkey
K2. The intermediate output X is again decrypted
with DES algorithm that uses subkey K1. Finally we
get plaintext P.

TRIPLE DES WITH TWO KEYS
• Encryption:
Consider 64 bits of plaintext and encrypt plaintext using
DES algorithm that uses subkey K1.. The intermediate
output A is again reencrypted with DES algorithm that
uses subkey K2. The intermediate output C is again
reencrypted with DES algorithm that uses subkey K1. Finally
we get ciphertext C.

TRIPLE DES WITH TWO KEYS
Decryption:
Consider 64 bits of ciphertext and decrypt ciphertext using
DES algorithm that uses subkey K1.. The intermediate
output B is again reencrypted with DES algorithm that
uses subkey K2. The intermediate output C is again
redecrypted with DES algorithm that uses subkey K1. Finally
we get ciphertext C.

TRIPLE DES WITH THREE KEYS
CREATED BY K. VICTOR BABU
TRIPLE DES WITH THREE KEYS
• Encryption:
Consider 64 bits of plaintext and encrypt plaintext using
DES algorithm that uses subkey K1.. The intermediate
output A is again reencrypted with DES algorithm that
uses subkey K2. The intermediate output C is again
reencrypted with DES algorithm that uses subkey K3. Finally
we get ciphertext C.

TRIPLE DES WITH THREE KEYS
Decryption:
Consider 64 bits of ciphertext and decrypt ciphertext
using DES algorithm that uses subkey K3. The
intermediate output B is again reencrypted with DES
algorithm that uses subkey K2. The intermediate output C
is again redecrypted with DES algorithm that uses subkey
K1. Finally we get ciphertext C.

SUMMARY
Multiple encryption can boost security while also
adding complexity, increasing processing
requirements, and perhaps creating compatibility
issues. To ensure successful implementation and
uphold the intended level of security, careful
evaluation of the encryption algorithms employed, key
management, and performance trade-offs is necessary.
