Answer 1

As a side note: if you are using ECB then you do not need an IV. Actually, using ECB is most of the time a security hazard, so you really need to use something else, e.g. CBC, which uses an IV. The IV is a random, non-secret value with the same size than the cipher block size (8 bytes for 3DES). A new IV must be created for each message, and the decrypting party must know the IV that the encrypting party used. In practice, the IV is sent along with the encrypted message.
