3DES encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports Triple-DES in both ECB (Electronic Cookbook) and CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining) cipher modes. Android™

    // CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
    crypt.put_CipherMode("cbc");

    // KeyLength must be 192.  3DES is technically 168-bits;
    // the most-significant bit of each key byte is a parity bit,
    // so we must indicate a KeyLength of 192, which includes
    // the parity bits.
    crypt.put_KeyLength(192);

    // The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
    // that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the
    // encryption algorithm's block size.  3DES has a block
    // size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
    // a multiple of 8.
    crypt.put_PaddingScheme(0);

    // encryption, and the input for decryption.
    // It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
    crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex");

    // An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.

    // Encrypt a string...
    // The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so
    // the output should be 48 bytes (a multiple of 8).
    // Because the output is a hex string, it should
    // be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
