I'm shocked that they didn't do so years ago - I thought they'd at least done the authentication parts. And you can still use 2-key 3DES... That's ok - 2-key 3DES still has 112 bits of key strength, which is 2**56 times harder than cracking single-DES. 3-Key 3DES looks like it should be harder, but it's still only 112 bits because of meet-in-the-middle attacks using 2**56 words of memory.
