Abstract
The data encryption is closely related to our daily lives, especially after the concept of e-commerce has become popular. The main reason is that although various network service platforms facilitate our lives, they also bring many potential problems such that there are many ways that people with bad intentions can tamper or steal data via Internet and further decrypt it. In order to maintain user privacy, encryption methods are adopted to prevent stealers from easily reading data. Data encryption standard (DES) is currently the most widely used encryption method in commercial financial units. However, since DES has a short password length and the generated key is quite linear, weak keys may be generated so that the security is still insufficient. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) method is used to generate high-variability keys to solve the problem of a high probability that DES generates weak keys.
