+Crypt::DES_EDE3 implements DES-EDE3 encryption. This is triple-DES
+encryption where an encrypt operation is encrypt-decrypt-encrypt, and
+decrypt is decrypt-encrypt-decrypt. This implementation uses Crypt::DES
+to do its dirty DES work, and simply provides a wrapper around that
+module: setting up the individual DES ciphers, initializing the keys,
+and performing the encryption/decryption steps.
+
+DES-EDE3 encryption requires a key size of 24 bytes.
