Can we use EED with 2 keys (K1 K1 K3)$(k_1, k_1, k_3)$ rather than EDE (k1,k2,k1)$(k_1, k_2, k_1)$? We measure the strength of DES by the effort (in terms of the number of tries) in finding some K1$k_1$ & K2$k_2$ to match a known plaintext and ciphertext pair.
Will EED have the same strength as EDE? Which one is stronger?
Can anyone please help me with this?
