A. It encrypts traffic. 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) is a symmetric-key block cipher algorithm that is used to encrypt data. It uses the same key for encrypting and decrypting data, and it is considered to be more secure than its predecessor, the Data Encryption Standard (DES), as it applies the DES algorithm three times in succession to the data, which makes it more resistant to cryptographic attacks. 3DES is widely used in various applications such as virtual private networks (VPNs), electronic commerce (e-commerce), and other secure communications systems, to encrypt and protect data in transit. It is important to note that 3DES is considered less secure than AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) which is now widely recommended.
