DES Encrypt then Base64

DES is a legacy cipher with 56-bit keys. Base64 makes ciphertext transport-safe. Note: DES is insecure for new applications.

What it solves

DES encrypt then Base64-encode for legacy compatibility.

Input → Output

DES Encryptor input → Base64 Encoder output across 2 steps.

The pipeline

  1. 1 DES Encryptor des-encrypt

    Encrypt text with DES (ECB/CBC) using crypto-js. Free, private, and 100% client-side.

    Params: key=mysecretkey

  2. 2 Base64 Encoder base64-encode

    Encode text or binary data to Base64 online. Free, private, and 100% client-side.
