Symmetric Block Ciphers

Triple DES

First some stats to think about:

Single DES uses a 56 bit key. So the number of keys is 2^56.

The number of bits in a block is 64 so any block can be mapped to one of 2^64 different blocks.

It seems reasonable then that DES using key K1 has a range of X and using key K2 has a range of Y where X and Y are different and the symmetric difference is non-empty (latex2($X \bigtriangleup Y \neq \emptyset$)). This is actually true so that latex2($E_{K1}(E_{K2}(P) \neq E_{K3}(P)$)
