Triple-Data Encryption Standard. A symmetric-key encryption method. Triple-DES requires a key length of 168 bits. Triple-DES is also written as 3DES.
Also called Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), Data Encryption Standard is an algorithm that encrypts blocks of data.
Triple- ata ncryption tandard Makes DES more secure by using it 3 times with different keys (total key length of 168 bits). Used in SSH.
A particular operation mode of the DES algorithm utilizing a larger key length and several DES operations to gain a higher level of security compared to the standard DES algorithm.
( 3DES) A cryptographic algorithm using three keys (rather than one or two). Triple DES is simply another mode of DES operation, where the DES algorithm is applied three times on the data to be encrypted, using a different key each time. 3DES is currently one of two US federal government standards for encrypting non-classified data.
