TripleDES Class
Represents the base class for Triple Data Encryption Standard algorithms from which all TripleDES implementations must derive.
For a list of all members of this type, see TripleDES Members.

Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
TripleDES uses three successive iterations of the DES algorithm. It can use either two or three 56-bit keys.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example method uses TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider with the specified Key and initialization vector (IV) to encrypt a file specified by inName, and outputs the encrypted result to the file specified by outName.
[Visual Basic] Private Shared Sub EncryptData(inName As String, outName As String, _ tdesKey() As Byte, tdesIV() As Byte) 'Create the file streams to handle the input and output files. Dim fin As New FileStream(inName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) Dim fout As New FileStream(outName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, _ FileAccess.Write) fout.SetLength(0) 'Create variables to help with read and write. Dim bin(100) As Byte 'This is intermediate storage for the encryption. Dim rdlen As Long = 0 'This is the total number of bytes written. Dim totlen As Long = fin.Length 'This is the total length of the input file. Dim len As Integer 'This is the number of bytes to be written at a time. Dim tdes As New TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider() Dim encStream As New CryptoStream(fout, _ tdes.CreateEncryptor(tdesKey, tdesIV), CryptoStreamMode.Write) Console.WriteLine("Encrypting...") 'Read from the input file, then encrypt and write to the output file. While rdlen < totlen len = fin.Read(bin, 0, 100) encStream.Write(bin, 0, len) rdlen = rdlen + len Console.WriteLine("{0} bytes processed", rdlen) End While encStream.Close() End Sub [C#] private static void EncryptData(String inName, String outName, byte[] tdesKey, byte[] tdesIV) { //Create the file streams to handle the input and output files. FileStream fin = new FileStream(inName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); FileStream fout = new FileStream(outName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); fout.SetLength(0); //Create variables to help with read and write. byte[] bin = new byte[100]; //This is intermediate storage for the encryption. long rdlen = 0; //This is the total number of bytes written. long totlen = fin.Length; //This is the total length of the input file. int len; //This is the number of bytes to be written at a time. TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider(); CryptoStream encStream = new CryptoStream(fout, tdes.CreateEncryptor(tdesKey, tdesIV), CryptoStreamMode.Write); Console.WriteLine("Encrypting..."); //Read from the input file, then encrypt and write to the output file. while(rdlen < totlen) { len = fin.Read(bin, 0, 100); encStream.Write(bin, 0, len); rdlen = rdlen + len; Console.WriteLine("{0} bytes processed", rdlen); } encStream.Close(); } [C++] void EncryptData(String* inName, String* outName, Byte tdesKey[], Byte tdesIV[]) { //Create the file streams to handle the input and output files. FileStream* fin = new FileStream(inName, FileMode::Open, FileAccess::Read); FileStream* fout = new FileStream(outName, FileMode::OpenOrCreate, FileAccess::Write); fout->SetLength(0); //Create variables to help with read and write. Byte bin[] = new Byte[100]; //This is intermediate storage for the encryption. long rdlen = 0; //This is the total number of bytes written. long totlen = (long)fin->Length;//This is the total length of the input file. int len; //This is the number of bytes to be written at a time. TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider* tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider(); CryptoStream* encStream = new CryptoStream(fout, tdes->CreateEncryptor(tdesKey, tdesIV), CryptoStreamMode::Write); Console::WriteLine(S"Encrypting..."); //Read from the input file, then encrypt and write to the output file. while(rdlen < totlen) { len = fin->Read(bin, 0, 100); encStream->Write(bin, 0, len); rdlen = rdlen + len; Console::WriteLine(S"{0} bytes processed", __box(rdlen)); } encStream->Close(); }
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Decryption can be handled in the same way; use CreateDecryptor instead of CreateEncryptor. The same Key and IV used to encrypt the file must be used to decrypt.
