Does 3DES in the SSL standard use two keys or three? Does anybody have any up-to-date references on how long it (theoretically or practically) takes to crack 3DES? I have connections that are SSL-secured and have to stay up for a LONG time, so I need to figure out how often I would want to renegotiate the keys.
