Berlin
Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany, both by area and by population.
Block cipher
In cryptography, a block cipher is a deterministic algorithm that operates on fixed-length groups of bits, called blocks.
See Horst Feistel and Block cipher
Cipher
In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption—a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure.
Crypto (book)
Crypto: How the Code Rebels Beat the Government Saving Privacy in the Digital Age is a book about cryptography written by Steven Levy, published in 2001.

Cryptography
Cryptography, or cryptology (from κρυπτός|translit.
See Horst Feistel and Cryptography
Cryptosystem
In cryptography, a cryptosystem is a suite of cryptographic algorithms needed to implement a particular security service, such as confidentiality (encryption).
See Horst Feistel and Cryptosystem
Data Encryption Standard
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data.
See Horst Feistel and Data Encryption Standard
Feistel cipher
In cryptography, a Feistel cipher (also known as Luby–Rackoff block cipher) is a symmetric structure used in the construction of block ciphers, named after the German-born physicist and cryptographer Horst Feistel, who did pioneering research while working for IBM; it is also commonly known as a Feistel network.
