    $\begingroup$ "A properly implemented 3DES consists of 3 independent keys.". No, a "proper" 3DES key consists of 3 independent DES keys. The lowest level of an implementation usually regards the 3 keys as separate keys, although there are certainly implementations that only offer 2-key implementations of triple DES. This is not worded very well (outside of misspelling "independent", please use a spell checker). $\endgroup$
