DES write key out

[Kai]

Hi,

 

Just a quick question on the DES library, I have generated and
scheduled a key to work with, but how do I see the contents of the key? I would
like to extract the key and write it to a file…

 

Thanks

 

John

That's a fairly odd request.  The thing one usually does is to
recreate the key schedule from the key you had, exactly like you did.
Saving the key to file should be regarded as very unsafe anyway.
