How to implement Triple DES in C# (complete example)

Question

I want to use triple DES in C# for encryption/decryption of (utf8) strings with a (utf8) key of any length.

I am looking for these three functions

Answer 1

using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

public class TripleDESImp
{
    public static readonly string Key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Encryption_Key"];
    public static readonly Encoding Encoder = Encoding.UTF8;

    public static string TripleDesEncrypt(string plainText)
    {
        var des = CreateDes(Key);
        var ct = des.CreateEncryptor();
        var input = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
        var output = ct.TransformFinalBlock(input, 0, input.Length);
        return Convert.ToBase64String(output);
    }

    public static string TripleDesDecrypt(string cypherText)
    {
        var des = CreateDes(Key);
        var ct = des.CreateDecryptor();
        var input = Convert.FromBase64String(cypherText);
        var output = ct.TransformFinalBlock(input, 0, input.Length);
        return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(output);
    }

    public static TripleDES CreateDes(string key)
    {
        MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
        TripleDES des = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
        var desKey= md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
        des.Key = desKey;
        des.IV = new byte[des.BlockSize / 8];
        des.Padding=PaddingMode.PKCS7;
        des.Mode=CipherMode.ECB;
        return des;
    }
}
