3DES Encryption, ECB, CBC modes

3DES encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports Triple-DES in both ECB (Electronic Cookbook) and CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining) cipher modes.

//  Specify 3DES for the encryption algorithm:

//  CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
crypt.CipherMode := 'cbc';

//  KeyLength must be 192.  3DES is technically 168-bits;
//  the most-significant bit of each key byte is a parity bit,
//  so we must indicate a KeyLength of 192, which includes
//  the parity bits.

//  The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
//  that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the
//  encryption algorithm's block size.  3DES has a block
//  size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
//  a multiple of 8.

//  encryption, and the input for decryption.
//  It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".

//  be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
