i was joking about the history of the s boxes, originally designed by ibm but with substantial classified input from nsa. suspicious people believed the s box changes (and the reduced key length) that was adopted was intended to weaken des, or make it more brute-forceable by the nsa. the designers deny it. the parallels between that situation and this should be evident.

Changing the s-boxes in DES (and therefore Triple DES as well) would break comparability with other implementations as it would no longer decrypt the same as a standard implementation.
