How can I convert a 96 bit key to a 64 bit key? I have a DES key that is 96 bits long (i.e 745347651281) . I want to convert this to 64 bit which I will use to decrypt a DES ciphertext.
Update:
- There was an "original key" encrypted by RSA
- The "original key" was decrypted using RSA to give us this (i.e 745347651281)
- This (i.e 745347651281) is now supposed to be used to decryped a DESfile.
Note : The "original key" was in hex format which I converted to integer(base 16) before doing RSA decryption.
