3DES
3DES, also referred to as Triple DES, a mode of the DES encryption algorithm that encrypts data three times. Nowadays backup programs, like Handy Backup, usually support 128-bit encryption algorithms. In 3DES three 64-bit keys are used, instead of one, for an overall key length of 192 bits (the first encryption is encrypted with second key, and the resulting cipher text is again encrypted with a third key).
