DES avalanche citation



You see in numerous places this statement: "Changing 1 bit in the
plaintext affects 34 bits in the ciphertext on average.
A 1-bit change in the key affects 35 bits in the ciphertext on
average."

Can anyone point me to an authoritative document (say, from ANSI or
FIPS) that verifies this statement?

Thanks,
Dean
