Hi All
It's official: Triple-DES is banned for encryption in federal systems.
NIST withdrew SP 800-67 Rev. 2 on January 1st. Going forward, TDES can only be used for historical purposes, such as decrypting old messages, key unwrapping, and MAC verification.

An era has gone....
Note under PCI DSS Triple-DES is seen to be strong encryption, I think there maybe some issues with the payments industry regarding this announcement too.
