Answer 1

DES encryption is considered legacy and is no longer available by default in the "enc" command. To use it you would need to load the legacy provider, e.g.

openssl enc -des-ecb -e  -in secret_message.txt -out simple-cipher-message.bin -K b2a2d62eab19114f -provider legacy -provider default
