A block cipher created from the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher by using it three times

A block cipher, 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 k [..]

Dictionary of Internet Terms A cryptographic algorithm for repeated DES operations that heve the effect of increasing the security of the encrypted message.

Also referred to as 3DES, a mode of the DES encryption algorithm that encrypts data three times. Three 64-bit keys are used, instead of one, for an overall key length of 192 bits (the first encryption [..]

New data encryption standard for pin pads, POS devices and ATMs adopted by the card associations.

The data encryption algorithm used with a double-length DES key.

64-bit encryption system

A variant of the original Data Encryption Standard that doubles the effective security. Often abbreviated to 3DES. The security level of 3DES is still considered to be very high, but there are faster [..]

Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a type of computerized cryptography where block cipher algorithms are applied three times to each data block. The key size is increased in Triple DES to ensure [..]
