Australian Standard AS2805.5 DES encryption



Anyone ever had to implement the data encryption algorithm as defined in the Australian Standards document AS2805.5? I need to use this as part of the authentication process for a project I'm working on and haven't had any luck tracking down existing implementations of this...

However it appears it might be one of many names for DES:

If this is the case then I'm wondering if the Australian Standard differs from the algorithm implemented by the .NET DESCryptoServiceProvider. Anyone know the answer to this?
