⟩ How does One Use Triple-DES in CBC Mode?
Until recently, the most significant use of triple-DES was for the encryption of single DES keys, and there was really no need to consider how one might implement various block cipher modes when the block cipher in question is actually one derived from multiple encryption. However, as DES nears the end of its useful lifetime, more thought is being given to an increasingly widespread use of triple-DES.
