C# - Simple TripleDES Encryption with or without hashing


This class below enables simple encryption and decryption of text strings. It uses the TripleDES algorithms and you can chose weather to use MD5 hash against the key.
Simply change the value of the encryptionKey to whatever you want the key to be.
