Triple DES (3DES)
Triple DES, also known as 3DES, is a symmetric strong encryption algorithm, or cipher, that is compliant with the OpenPGP standard. 3DES is based on DES, that transforms each 64-bit plaintext block by applying the Data Encryption Algorithm three successive times, using either two or three different keys, for an effective key length of 112 or 168 bits.
