Sorry I can't help you without more details.

Please open a bug report at http://bugzilla.ximian.com and include a
small source code sample that reproduce the problem. Don't forget to
indicate which version of Mono you are using and on which platform.

You can access the documentation from http://www.mono-project.com
Click on "manuals and docs" (icon on top right) then navigate the tree
view to get to the desired class documentation.

Here's a direct link to the TripleDES class
http://www.go-mono.com/docs/monodoc.ashx?link=T%
3aSystem.Security.Cryptography.TripleDES

System.Security.Cryptography implements the same classes (i.e. same
features/same limites) as MS base class library.

Mono.Security.Cryptography offer extra classes (i.e. not available on
the MS framework).
