Encryption. Select an encryption algorithm, and enter the key in the field provided. For
3DES, the keys should be 24 ASCII characters, and for DES, the keys should be 8 ASCII
characters.
- DES. The Data Encryption Standard (DES) processes input data that is 64 bits wide,
encrypting these values using a 56-bit key. Faster but less secure than 3DES.
- 3DES. (Triple DES) achieves a higher level of security by encrypting the data three
times using DES with three different, unrelated keys.
Authentication. Specify the authentication and the key.
