History is rich with examples that showcase the power of military logistics and its influence in the outcome of wars. Hannibal crossing the Alps with foot soldiers, horsemen, and elephants to gain a string of victories in central Italy between 218 and 204 BCE relied on logis-tical planning, cutting supply lines for Roman forces and seizing Roman supply depots [1]. The six years of the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II were a struggle to get a million tons of imported material to Britain every week, fighting German efforts to sink as many of the cargo ships as possible [2]. As the battle raged in the Atlantic Ocean, Allied bombers were destroying German access to oil refineries and synthetic fuel factories. By 1944, the Germans did not have enough fuel for aircraft to protect the oil facilities that remained or for the fleet of submarines that had ...

Using DES as example, we show a way to generate round subkeys to increase the cipher strength substantially by making relations between the round subkeys practically intractable.
