Thanks Hugo!

That is not the case.
The C++ implementation that I've provided shows exactly the _opposite_!

Its core is 3DES_112(2 64 DES keys used) based.
I believe this was I misunderstanding from the list's guys. Nothing to worry seriously about.

I'm glad we have VASCO's clarification. And it seems to me that now the community is really free to analyze the 
truncation/decimalization side of Digipass.

Is it secure? Is it the best VASCO could've come with? And the key derivation process?...

Best regards,
