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

  // CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
  crypt.cipherMode = 'cbc';

  // KeyLength must be 192.  3DES is technically 168-bits;

  // so we must indicate a KeyLength of 192, which includes
  // the parity bits.

  // 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.

  // EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
  // encryption, and the input for decryption.
  // It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".

  // 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).
