+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Bdes
+implements all DES modes of operation described in FIPS PUB 81,
+including alternative cipher feedback mode and both authentication
+modes.
+.I Bdes
+reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output.
+By default, the input is encrypted using cipher block chaining mode.
+Using the same key for encryption and decryption preserves plain text.
+.PP
+All modes but the electronic code book mode require an initialization
+vector; if none is supplied, the zero vector is used.
+If no
+.I key
+is specified on the command line, the user is prompted for one (see
+.IR getpass (3)
+for more details).
+.PP
+The options are as follows:
+.TP
+\-a
+The key and initialization vector strings are to be taken as ASCII,
+suppressing the special interpretation given to leading ``0X'', ``0x'',
+``0B'', and ``0b'' characters.
+This flag applies to
+.I both
+the key and initialization vector.
+.TP
+\-b
+Use electronic code book mode.
+.TP
+\-d
+Decrypt the input.
+.TP
+\-F
+Use
+.IR N -bit
+alternative cipher feedback mode.
+Currently
+.I N
+must be a multiple of 7 between 7 and 56 inclusive (this does not conform
+to the alternative CFB mode specification).
+.TP
+\-f
+Use
+.IR N -bit
+cipher feedback mode.
+Currently
+.I N
+must be a multiple of 8 between 8 and 64 inclusive (this does not conform
+to the standard CFB mode specification).
+.TP
+\-k
+Use
+.I key
+as the cryptographic key.
+.TP
+\-m
+Compute a message authentication code (MAC) of
+.I N
+bits on the input.
+The value of
+.I N
+must be between 1 and 64 inclusive; if
+.I N
+is not a multiple of 8, enough 0 bits will be added to pad the MAC length
+to the nearest multiple of 8.
+Only the MAC is output.
+MACs are only available in cipher block chaining mode or in cipher feedback
+mode.
+.TP
+\-o
+Use
+.IR N -bit
+output feedback mode.
+Currently
+.I N
+must be a multiple of 8 between 8 and 64 inclusive (this does not conform
+to the OFB mode specification).
+.TP
+\-p
+Disable the resetting of the parity bit.
+This flag forces the parity bit of the key to be used as typed, rather than
+making each character be of odd parity.
+It is used only if the key is given in ASCII.
+.TP
+\-v
+Set the initialization vector to
+.IR vector ;
+the vector is interpreted in the same way as the key.
+The vector is ignored in electronic codebook mode.
+.PP
+The key and initialization vector are taken as sequences of ASCII
+characters which are then mapped into their bit representations.
+If either begins with ``0X'' or ``0x'',
+that one is taken as a sequence of hexadecimal digits indicating the
+bit pattern;
+if either begins with ``0B'' or ``0b'',
+that one is taken as a sequence of binary digits indicating the bit pattern.
+In either case,
+only the leading 64 bits of the key or initialization vector
+are used,
+and if fewer than 64 bits are provided, enough 0 bits are appended
+to pad the key to 64 bits.
+.PP
+According to the DES standard, the low-order bit of each character in the
+key string is deleted.
+Since most ASCII representations set the high-order bit to 0, simply
+deleting the low-order bit effectively reduces the size of the key space
+from 2\u\s-356\s0\d to 2\u\s-348\s0\d keys.
+To prevent this, the high-order bit must be a function depending in part
+upon the low-order bit; so, the high-order bit is set to whatever value
+gives odd parity.
+This preserves the key space size.
+Note this resetting of the parity bit is
+.I not
+done if the key is given in binary or hex, and can be disabled for ASCII
+keys as well.
+.PP
+The DES is considered a very strong cryptosystem, and other than table lookup
+attacks, key search attacks, and Hellman's time-memory tradeoff (all of which
+are very expensive and time-consuming), no cryptanalytic methods for breaking
+the DES are known in the open literature.
+No doubt the choice of keys and key security are the most vulnerable aspect
+of
+.IR bdes .
+.SH IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+For implementors wishing to write software compatible with this program,
+the following notes are provided.
+This software is believed to be compatible with the implementation of the
+data encryption standard distributed by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
+.PP
+In the ECB and CBC modes, plaintext is encrypted in units of 64 bits (8 bytes,
+also called a block).
+To ensure that the plaintext file is encrypted correctly,
+.I bdes
+will (internally) append from 1 to 8 bytes, the last byte containing an
+integer stating how many bytes of that final block are from the plaintext
+file, and encrypt the resulting block.
+Hence, when decrypting, the last block may contain from 0 to 7 characters
+present in the plaintext file, and the last byte tells how many.
+Note that if during decryption the last byte of the file does not contain an
+integer between 0 and 7, either the file has been corrupted or an incorrect
+key has been given.
+A similar mechanism is used for the OFB and CFB modes, except that those
+simply require the length of the input to be a multiple of the mode size,
+and the final byte contains an integer between 0 and one less than the number
+of bytes being used as the mode.
+(This was another reason that the mode size must be a multiple of 8 for those
+modes.)
+.PP
+Unlike Sun's implementation, unused bytes of that last block are not filled
+with random data, but instead contain what was in those byte positions in
+the preceding block.
+This is quicker and more portable, and does not weaken the encryption
+significantly.
+.PP
+If the key is entered in ASCII, the parity bits of the key characters are set
+so that each key character is of odd parity.
+Unlike Sun's implementation, it is possible to enter binary or hexadecimal
+keys on the command line, and if this is done, the parity bits are
+.I not
+reset.
+This allows testing using arbitrary bit patterns as keys.
+.PP
+The Sun implementation always uses an initialization vector of 0
+(that is, all zeroes).
+By default,
+.I bdes
+does too, but this may be changed from the command line.

+.SH BUGS
+There is a controversy raging over whether the DES will still be secure
+in a few years.
+The advent of special-purpose hardware could reduce the cost of any of the
+methods of attack named above so that they are no longer computationally
+infeasible.
+.PP
+As the key or key schedule is stored in memory, the encryption can be
+compromised if memory is readable.
+Additionally, programs which display programs' arguments may compromise the
+key and initialization vector, if they are specified on the command line.
+To avoid this
+.I bdes
+overwrites its arguments, however, the obvious race cannot currently be
+avoided.
+.PP
+Certain specific keys should be avoided because they introduce potential
+weaknesses; these keys, called the
+.I weak
+and
+.I semiweak
+keys, are (in hex notation, where p is either 0 or 1, and P is either
+e or f):
