ICSF supports triple DES encryption for data privacy. This provides stronger encryption than the current DES algorithm and single-length DES data-encryption keys. Triple DES uses three, single-length keys to encipher and decipher the data which results in a stronger form of cryptography.

Data that has been encrypted under a double-length or triple-length DATA key cannot be reenciphered using data-translation keys as described in Protection of Data.
