I would like to know the overhead in size when encrypting
a message of n bytes with 3DES.

A simple rule of thumb says that it will be n bytes plus
the padding needed for n to be a multiple of 64 bits (8 bytes).

Is it correct? and how the different modes (CBC,..)+ initialization
vector influences that rule?
