CSD encrypts data with 168-bit 3DES. Erasure of the cache meets U.S. Department of Defense standards. Data Encryption Standard (DES) is an algorithm for protecting data using private encryption keys. DES-CBC is the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode of DES, a stronger form of encryption; it applies an exclusive OR to each block of data with the previous block and then encrypts the data using the DES encryption key. 3DES or Triple DES, the strongest form of encryption, uses different keys to encrypt each data block three times.
