Hi,
 
I've been looking for some details about the DES-CBC3 cipher and I haven't been able to find them on the mailing list archives. Is DES-CBC3 encrypting 3 times with three different keys (EEE) or is it encrypting and decrypting with two keys only (EDE)? If I understand correctly the effective key strength is not 168 but 112: are marketing documents usually referring to the strength as 168 bits anyway?
 
Thanks!
 
Vincent
