This paper introduces a practical algorithm for deriving the best differential characteristic and the best linear expression
of DES. Its principle is based on a duality between differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis, and applicable to
various block ciphers. Then using this program, we observe how the order of S-boxes affects the strength of DES. We show that
the order of the S-boxes is well-arranged against differential cryptanalysis, though it is not the best choice. On the other
hand, our experimental results indicate that it is a very weak choice in regard to linear cryptanalysis. In other words, DES
can be strengthened by just rearranging the order of the S-boxes.
