It is inefficient; by using only 6 bits of each byte, it adds about a third to the length of a message.

它是低效的；通过使用每字节仅6位的编码，它添加了大约消息长度的三分之一。

DES, developed by IBM Corp. and adopted by NIST in 1977, has only one key size -- 56 bits, which is the length of the encryption algorithm.

This deluge of data can only be managed with more and bigger routers and switches, such as Cisco's Nexus 7000, which can handle 15 trillion bits, the equivalent of 1, 350 feature-length films, every second.
