crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "des"

' CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"

' 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.  DES has a block
' size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
' a multiple of 8.

' encryption, and the input for decryption.
' It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".

' An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.
' ECB mode does not use an IV.
' The length of the IV is equal to the algorithm's block size.
' It is NOT equal to the length of the key.

' 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).
