It says that the commerce server supports (among others) DES and DES3 (same as 3DES?). They list the key sizes as 64 and 192 bits respectively. My question is, isn't DES 56 bits? (with an 8 bit salt that would be 64 I guess), but isn't DES3 112 bits, not 192?
DES keys are specified as 64 bits, of which 8 bits provide odd parity. The 192 bits would specify three independent keys (not triple DES)
