Apr 2, 2018 at 17:30 comment added fgrieu @forest: 55-bit is the strength of (single) DES under chosen plaintext. Indeed that's weak. The answer acknowledges that in the first bullet.

Jun 5, 2013 at 8:27 comment added fgrieu @user7060: 64-bit block ciphers are deprecated for new applications, but still very much in use in some fields, including mine (Smart Cards). French recommendations recommend 128-bit block ciphers, but allow 64-bit block ciphers (for introduction) till 2020, provided they are used within rules.
Jun 5, 2013 at 7:52 comment added Dingo13 I thought that all 64-bit block cipher were deprecated. This is interesting.Thank you very much.
