Could someone please explain to me the specific attack against Double
DES that reduces its work factor to that of (regular) DES and thus
prompts the need to use 3-DES?

While I am writing I will ask another quick question, does anyone have
any comments/experience with regards to the Computer Science Dept. at
Johns Hopkins and courses related to computer security and
cryptography? I just took a job in the DC area and would like some
feedback on potential colleges I should look at for crypto and
comp.sec.

I am a newbie thus the reason for the first question and thus the
reason I am considering going back to school.

Thanks in advance,

J
