3DES Encryption

This document demonstrates how to perform 168-bit 3DES encryption using the Chilkat .NET cryptographic library. It shows how to initialize a Chilkat.Crypt2 object, set the algorithm to 3DES with a 168-bit key length, choose the cipher mode (CBC), set the initialization vector and secret key, and encrypt/decrypt a sample string. Padding is set to use space characters.

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

bool success;
success = crypt.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
// Unlock failed.
MessageBox.Show(crypt.LastErrorText);
return;
}

// To get 3DES, set the algorithm = "des", and the


// key length to 168 bits:
crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "des";
crypt.KeyLength = 168;

// The encrypted output will be a hex-encoded string.


// It is also possible to use "base64", "url" (for url-encoding), and other modes.
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex";

// Both ECB and CBC modes are available.


// Use "ecb" for Electronic Cookbook Mode.
// "cbc" is for Cipher-Block-Chaining.
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc";

// Initialization vectors should equal the block-size of the algorithm.


// for 3DES (and DES) the block-size is 8 bytes.
// The IV may be set from an encoded string:
crypt.SetEncodedIV("0102030405060708","hex");

// (it is also possible to set the IV directly from a byte array...)

// The secret key should have a length equal to the bit-strength of


// the algorithm. In this case, we have 168-bit 3DES. However,
// with DES (and 3DES) the most significant bit of each key byte is
// a parity bit, and therefore 168-bits really refers to a 192-bit key
// where the 24 msb's are parity bits. Our 3DES key should be 24 bytes in size.
crypt.SetEncodedKey("010203040506070801020304050607080102030405060708","hex");

// (it is also possible to set the key directly from a byte array, or generate
// a key from a arbitrary-length string password.)

// 3DES is a block encryption algorithm. This means that output is always


// a multiple of the algorithm's block size. For 3DES, the block size is 8 bytes.
// Therefore, if your input is not a multiple of 8 bytes, it will be padded.
// There are several choices for padding (consult the Chilkat Crypt reference).
// We'll pad with SPACE (0x20) characters:
crypt.PaddingScheme = 4;

// Note: If trying to match the results produced by two different 3DES implementations,
// make sure to test with data that is longer than a single block (8 bytes for 3DES).
// If all params match (IV, secret key, cipher mode, etc.) except for the padding, then
// the results will be identical except for the last block of output. If you test data is only
// a single block, you cannot recognize the situation where all is correct except
// for a padding mismatch.
string cipherText;
string plainText;

cipherText = crypt.EncryptStringENC("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNLPQRSTUVWXYZ");
textBox1.Text += cipherText + "\r\n";
plainText = crypt.DecryptStringENC(cipherText);
textBox1.Text += plainText + "\r\n";

// Note: Because we used SPACE character padding, the output string will contain trailing SPACE
// chars, which can easily be trimmed.

// (Other padding schemes embed the original input length in the padding so that the Decrypt*
methods always
// return the exact original data).
