DES-EDE2 Overview

DES-EDE2 is a symmetric-key block cipher algorithm. It is a variety of Triple DES encryption algorithm which encrypts the input data three times using DES algorithm.

DES-EDE2 encrypts data in 64-bit blocks. DES-EDE2 key consists of 128 binary digits ("0"s or "1"s) of which 112 bits are used directly by the algorithm.

Triple DES is defined by the American standard FIPS 46-3.
