# perl-Crypt-DES
The Crypt::DES module implements the Crypt::CBC interface.
Do note that DES only uses 8 byte keys and only works on 8 byte data blocks.
If you're intending to encrypt larger blocks or entire files, please use Crypt::CBC in conjunction with this module.
Also note that the DES algorithm is, by today's standard, weak encryption.
Crypt::Blowfish is highly recommended if you're interested in using strong encryption and a faster algorithm.
