3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) A modification of the original DES algorithm that uses three separate keys when running its encryption algorithm and associated computations. Through the use of three separate keys, the key length was effectively increased from 8 characters to 24 characters, resulting in 168 bits-worth of encryption strength.
