Bad encryption algorithm

3DES that is written here shouldn't be used. Beware. Nowadays it is still in usage because there are many high-performance hardware DES-encrypting devices exist and it is very simple to create 3DES encryption (Encrypt(key, Decrypt( key, Encrypt(key,data))). But it is very weak algorithm. Better use is Blowfish, Twofish and of course AES. As I know, OpenSSL can handle them too.
