There are two phases to the use of DES encryption.  The first is the

generation of a I<DES_key_schedule> from a key, the second is the

actual encryption.  A DES key is of type I<DES_cblock>. This type is

actual encryption.  A DES key is of type I<DES_cblock>. This type

consists of 8 bytes with odd parity.  The least significant bit in

each byte is the parity bit.  The key schedule is an expanded form of

the key; it is used to speed the encryption process.

DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt() implements outer triple CBC DES encryption with

three keys. This means that each DES operation inside the CBC mode is

an C<C=E(ks3,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))>.  This mode is used by SSL.

C<C=E(ks3,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))>.  This mode is used by SSL.



The DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt() macro implements two-key Triple-DES by

reusing I<ks1> for the final encryption.  C<C=E(ks1,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))>.

This form of Triple-DES is used by the RSAREF library.

useful you ask?  Because this routine will allow you to encrypt an

arbitrary number of bytes, no 8 byte padding.  Each call to this

routine will encrypt the input bytes to output and then update ivec

and num.  num contains 'how far' we are though ivec.  If this does
