Comment (by yawning):
Not interesting.
Despite what guidelines say, the best known attacks against 3DES are
computationally infeasable.
The best known attack against 3DES is computationally infeasible
(http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.119.1761&rep=rep1&type=pdf).
Anything that could break 3DES could break 128 bit AES as well, because
the only likely feasible break is a quantum computer.
(Landauer's principle doesn't go away just because you have lots of
money.)
