Re: DES EDE vs. EEE

I agree with Tom's suggestion for EDE as the preferred approach, and
for avoiding overkill (fi we have not already passed that point).
Availability of hardware that does EDE is certainly a reasonable input
to the decision process.  I disagree with the suggestion for any need
to encipher the IV, and note my previous message about using EDE as a
code book, in which there would be just one IV and only the first 8
bytes of the message would be involved, as is currently the case.
