密码学中，三重数据加密算法（英语：Triple Data Encryption Algorithm，缩写为TDEA，Triple DEA），或称3DES（Triple DES），是一种对称密钥加密块密码，相当于是对每个数据块应用三次数据加密标准（DES）算法。由于计算机运算能力的增强，原版DES密码的密钥长度变得容易被暴力破解；3DES即是设计用来提供一种相对简单的方法，即通过增加DES的密钥长度来避免类似的攻击，而不是设计一种全新的块密码算法。

In cryptography, Triple DES (3DES) is the common name for the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA or Triple DEA) symmetric-key block cipher, which applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher algorithm three times to each data block.

The original DES cipher's key size of 56 bits was generally sufficient when that algorithm was designed, but the availability of increasing computational power made brute-force attacks feasible. Triple DES provides a relatively simple method of increasing the key size of DES to protect against such attacks, without the need to design a completely new block cipher algorithm.
