Ladder-DES is a cryptographic algorithm that is a variant of the Data Encryption Standard (DES). It was proposed to address certain weaknesses of classical DES and to offer enhanced security features. The key characteristic of Ladder-DES is the use of a "ladder" structure in its encryption process, which involves a series of transformations applied in a specific manner.
