I assume so, not having looked much further. israel_viente> Is it reliable to use cbc3 encryption with the openssl? Yes. Really, the best way to use crypto functionality in OpenSSL is through the EVP interface. However, if you must go low level, take a look at DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt() anf DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt(). There's a manual page. Cheers, Richard ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
