'  Specify 3DES for the encryption algorithm:
crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "3des"

crypt.CipherMode = "ecb"

'  For 2-Key Triple-DES, use a key length of 128
'  (Given that each byte's msb is a parity bit, the strength is really 112 bits).

'  Pad with zeros
crypt.PaddingScheme = 3

'  EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
'  encryption, and the input for decryption.
'  It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"

'  Let's create a secret key by using the MD5 hash of a password.
'  The Digest-MD5 algorithm produces a 16-byte hash (i.e. 128 bits)

'  Set the encryption key:
crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex,"hex")

'  Encrypt
Dim encStr As String

'  Now decrypt:
Dim decStr As String
