I'm trying to implement a protocol which uses DES encryption to send a
password across the network. And I know nothing about encryption.
In the protocol I'm working with, the approach is that one side sends a random
16-byte challenge; the other end encrypts this data with DES using the
password
Ben, have you looked at the output of the ciphernames? There are
quite a few 'des' variants, are you sure you're using the right one?
Also, I'd stick with the with password format, unless you know how
the other side is padding (if they are).
Best,
Mark
