Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Initial Permutation table/matrix is of size
A
16×8
B
12×8
C
8×8
D
4×8
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: There are 64 bits to permute and this requires a 8×8 matrix.

Detailed explanation-2: -DES is a block cipher that operates on data blocks of 64 bits in size. DES uses a 64-bit key 8 × 8 including 1 bit for parity, so the actual key is 56 bits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Initial permutation Fixed, known mapping 64-64 bits. Key transformations Circular L shift of keys by A(i) bits in round (A(i) is known and fixed). Compression Permutation Fixed known subset of 56-bit input mapped onto 48-bit output.
