[VPN] How to calculate Key Length in DES and 3DES?

[Sandeep Dhadwal]

Hi All,

I would like to what is the key length in DES and 3 DES.  I know that DES 
supports 56 bit and 3DES 168 bit keys.  But I want to know how many 
characters we can use in both and also how to calculate the length of the 
characters.

Regards,
Sandeep Singh Dhadwal
