Which statement about the 3DES algorithm is true?

A.
The 3DES algorithm uses the same key for encryption and decryption,

B.
The 3DES algorithm uses a public-private key pair with a public key for encryption and
a private key for decryption.

C.
The 3DES algorithm is a block cipher.

D.
The 3DES algorithm uses a key length of 112 bits.

E.
The 3DES algorithm is faster than DES due to the shorter key length.
