I think your best bet is to use the facilities already provided in the .NET
framework class libraries. The TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider class is the
managed implementation (wrapper, I believe) for TripleDES. Also, there is a
TripleDES abstract class you can inherit from if you want a jump-start on
rolling your own implementation.
