Single-DES and Triple-DES encryption algorithms for general data

Using the CEX*C, you can use the triple-DES algorithm in addition to the classical single-DES algorithm.

In the subsequent descriptions of the CBC method and ANSI X9.23 method, the actions of the Encipher and Decipher verbs encompass both single-DES and triple-DES algorithms. The triple-DES processes are depicted in Figure 1 where Left key and Right key refer to the two halves of a double-length DES key.
