Hey,

Thanks. So I've come up with a few more questions:

1) What's the difference between DES_bs and DES_bs_c?
2) I understand how to set a salt for DES_bs, but I'm totally confused as to
how to which function or combination to use on a plaintext key. (If this
needs to be it's own thread then I'll make a new one with a proper title)

Noted. My questions were too general for me to categorize effectively. From
now on most questions will center around use of DES.
