DES Modes - Electronic Code Book (ECB)

Traditionally, each block of ciphertext is independent of other blocks and is most frequently used for the coding of data on some storage medium (such as a disk or transmitted via a network).

DES Modes - Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)

The notion of chaining ensures that each block is dependent on earlier blocks:

Now, an intruder can neither insert nor delete any block without detection. Cipher block chaining is hence typically used in networking applications.
