接下来我们介绍对称加密算法，最常用的莫过于DES数据加密算法。 
DES 
DES-Data Encryption Standard,即数据加密算法。是IBM公司于1975年研究成功并公开发表的。DES算法的入口参数有三个:Key、Data、Mode。其中Key为8个字节共64位,是DES算法的工作密钥;Data也为8个字节64位,是要被加密或被解密的数据;Mode为DES的工作方式,有两种:加密或解密。 
　　DES算法把64位的明文输入块变为64位的密文输出块,它所使用的密钥也是64位。 

通过java代码实现如下：Coder类见 Java加密算法（一）

import java.security.Key;
import java.security.SecureRandom;

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory;
import javax.crypto.spec.DESKeySpec;

		KeyGenerator kg = KeyGenerator.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
		kg.init(secureRandom);

		SecretKey secretKey = kg.generateKey();

		return encryptBASE64(secretKey.getEncoded());
	}
}

　　延续上一个类的实现，我们通过MD5以及SHA对字符串加密生成密钥，这是比较常见的密钥生成方式。 
再给出一个测试类：

import static org.junit.Assert.*;


import org.junit.Test;

/**
 * 
 *DES测试
 * 
 */
public class DESCoderTest {

	@Test
	public void test() throws Exception {
		String inputStr = "DES";
		String key = DESCoder.initKey();
		System.err.println("原文:\t" + inputStr);

		System.err.println("密钥:\t" + key);

		byte[] inputData = inputStr.getBytes();
		inputData = DESCoder.encrypt(inputData, key);

		System.err.println("加密后:\t" + DESCoder.encryptBASE64(inputData));

		byte[] outputData = DESCoder.decrypt(inputData, key);
		String outputStr = new String(outputData);

		System.err.println("解密后:\t" + outputStr);

		assertEquals(inputStr, outputStr);
	}
}

　　得到的输出内容如下：

原文:	DES
密钥:	f3wEtRrV6q0=

加密后:	C6qe9oNIzRY=

解密后:	DES

　　由控制台得到的输出，我们能够比对加密、解密后结果一致。这是一种简单的加密解密方式，只有一个密钥。 
    其实DES有很多同胞兄弟，如DESede(TripleDES)、AES、Blowfish、RC2、RC4(ARCFOUR)。这里就不过多阐述了，大同小异，只要换掉ALGORITHM换成对应的值，同时做一个代码替换SecretKey secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(key, ALGORITHM);就可以了，此外就是密钥长度不同了。

/**
 * DES          key size must be equal to 56
 * DESede(TripleDES) key size must be equal to 112 or 168
 * AES          key size must be equal to 128, 192 or 256,but 192 and 256 bits may not be available
 * Blowfish     key size must be multiple of 8, and can only range from 32 to 448 (inclusive)
 * RC2          key size must be between 40 and 1024 bits
 * RC4(ARCFOUR) key size must be between 40 and 1024 bits
