Question:
Does the Crypt2 Component support 3DES ??

Setting “CryptAlgorithm” to “3des” or “des” does not change the encoded
output when the “EncryptStringENC” method is used.

Answer:
Yes. The CryptAlgorithm should be set to “DES” (case-insensitive). The KeyLength property determines if it is DES (56 or 64), 3DES (112 or 128) or 2-Key TDES (168 or 192). Each byte in a DES key has a parity bit. An 8-byte key (64 bits) has 8 parity bits and 56 encryption bits. The Chilkat Crypt component will accept either number. In other words, to get Triple-DES (3DES) you may set the key length to either 168 or 192.

This post provides C# sample code for matching a test vector (known answer test).

3DES Settings:

• ECB Mode
• 192-bit key (i.e. 3 8-bit keys)
• ASCII Key Bytes: 1234567890123456ABCDEFGH
• ASCII Text to Encrypt: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
• Pads with zero bytes
• Hexadecimalized Encrypted Result:

C# Code:

    string keyAscii = "1234567890123456ABCDEFGH";
    byte[] key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(keyAscii);

    byte[] clearText = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(”The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog”);

    TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider des = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
    des.KeySize = 192;
    des.Key = key;
    des.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
    des.Padding = PaddingMode.Zeros;
    byte[] cipherText = des.CreateEncryptor().TransformFinalBlock(clearText, 0, clearText.Length);
