  • Abstract
    A set of transformations on binary vectors of length n is defined. These transformations are similar to those of the data encryption standard (DES) and therefore are called DES-like functions. It is proved that the group of permutations generated by the DES-like functions is exactly the alternating group of the set of binary n vectors.
