Hi Srikanth,

In general: you are using the ablkcipher API. I think it is on its way out and 
being replaced with skcipher.

Maybe it makes sense to replace it here too. It could be as simple as s/
ablkcipher/skcipher/g

Could you help me finding the location where this memory is zeroized upon 
release?

Please import the check from __des3_ede_setkey (or better, extract that key 
check into a generic function like xts_check_key).
