	Title		: Security Implications of Using the Data Encryption Standard (DES)

The Data Encryption standard [DES] is susceptible to brute force
   attacks which are well within the reach of a modestly financed
   adversary.  As a result, DES has been deprecated, and replaced by the
   Advanced Encryption Standard [AES].  Nonetheless, many applications
   continue to rely on DES for security, and designers and implementers
   continue to support it in new applications.  While this is not always
   inappropriate, it frequently is.  This note discusses DES security
   implications in detail, so that designers and implementers have all
   the information they need to make judicious decisions regarding its
   use.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
