However, large organizations began to evaluate the need to secure our data. One such company was IBM, an industry leader in technology. IBM put together a group of scientists to design a solution to protect customer data.

In this section, we'll take a look at some of the motivators behind creating an encryption algorithm to secure data. We'll also discuss the Feistel cipher, which is significant as...
