For anyone wondering, or teaching about DES, or interested in perverse uses for spreadsheets, I have created an "Illustrated DES spreadsheet". This is a vanilla spreadsheet (no VB or anything exotic) and should work on many excel and excel workalikes.

I have also stole many tricks including how to do XOR in generic excel which I can not find again to give proper credit. I haven't run this through the FIPS 140-2 level 1 test suite (but this could easily be certified :-)

Anyone interested in making one for MD-5?

Enjoy
