sorry if this is being posted a 2nd time. i got an email stating it

hello,
please forgive me as i am not an OpenSSL or encryption expert.
i am already using OpenSSL to do encryption of strings and it works
awesome. i do have a question about encrypting smaller amounts of data
though.
my code basically goes as follows
Encrypt(datato, datafrom)
{
EVP_EncryptInit();
EVP_EncryptUpdate();
EVP_EncryptFinal();
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup();
}
again works awesome for strings. however we are realizing there are
sometimes we just want a 32 bit int or a 64 bit int encrypted and
nothing else.
so we ran this with a 64 bit int and noticed that 128 bits comes out.
can we safely ignore the other 64 bits? why are we getting 128 bits out?
we are using the TripleDES cipher.
thank you.
