Quintuple-DES

Looks like somebody's private theory: unless my Google-fu fails me, no GScholar hits and only Google/DDG hit is this very page. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 23:00, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no reliable sources can be found. No cryptographer would ever design this, even an amateur like me can point holes in the idea -- the real cryptographic strength still at most 2¹¹² like Triple-DES, despite 280-bit key, due to meet-in-the-middle attack; DES's small 64-bit block size is increasingly a problem with today's multi-terabyte storage devices and 10Gbit network interfaces. Also factual errors, DES hasn't "survived the test-of-time", there's a faster-than-brute-force attack [1]. -- intgr [talk] 10:16, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Independently of the technical merits (or otherwise) of the idea, the lead sentence (with my emphasis) is "The concept is introduced here of extending Triple-DES to five keys ...". Ie it is original research, and Wikipedia is not the place for "Primary (original) research, such as proposing theories and solutions ...". Mitch Ames (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
