    I have encountered an issue with the weak key 'protection' in this class.

    I am currently writing a smart card application. The test cards I have use a weak key "KEY TESTKEY TEST". Because this key is weak the TripleDes Set Key throws an exception.

    Am currently developing a work around, bit of a pain.

    Two comments:
    1) It would be nice if there a property in the class 'allowWeakKey'
    2) Why is the class sealed for that matter are any classes sealed?

    Thanks
