DES encryption requires a secret key. So, why not enlarge the key to 12 digits and make it a one time pad. Customers will have a warmer fuzzy feeling from "perfect encryption".
Granted that you use a different, randomly generated key for each encryption, of course.

  I am using a randomly generated key for each encryption (from a separate key server). That makes for both overkill and a happy customer.
