Implementing this Java password encryption algorithm in PHP

Question

I'm trying to implement a password encryption algorithm used in Funambol mobile sync server in PHP but I'm having hard time as I come from a non-Java background. The code itself seems simple:

encryptionKey   = "Omnia Gallia in tres partes divida est";
byte[] newValue = new byte[24];
System.arraycopy(encryptionKey, 0, newValue, 0, 24);
encryptionKey   = newValue;

KeySpec keySpec             = new DESedeKeySpec(encryptionKey);
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("DESEde");
Cipher cipher               = Cipher.getInstance("DESEde");    
SecretKey key               = keyFactory.generateSecret(keySpec);

cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);

cipherBytes = cipher.doFinal(plainBytes);

I'm not necessarily looking for a complete solution, rather pointers on what I can use on PHP's side. Can mcrypt handle this and to what extent? What else do I need? Is this even doable in PHP?

To the curious: I'm building an interface to the Funambol server and I'd like to be able to add users from the interface itself using PHP.

Finally got it solved, posting here in case someone ever needs to encrypt or decrypt passwords for Funambol using PHP:

class Funambol_auth {

    private static $key = "Omnia Gallia in tres par";

    public static function encrypt($data) {
        $size = mcrypt_get_block_size('des', 'ecb');
        $data = self::pkcs5_pad($data, $size);
        $mcrypt_module = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES, '', 'ecb', '');
        $mcrypt_iv     = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($mcrypt_module), MCRYPT_RAND);
        $key_size      = mcrypt_enc_get_key_size($mcrypt_module);

        mcrypt_generic_init($mcrypt_module,self::$key,$mcrypt_iv);
        $encrypted = base64_encode(mcrypt_generic($mcrypt_module, $data));
        mcrypt_module_close($mcrypt_module);

        return $encrypted;
    }

    public static function decrypt($data) {
        $mcrypt_module = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES, '', 'ecb', '');
        $mcrypt_iv     = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($mcrypt_module), MCRYPT_RAND);
        $decrypted     = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES, self::$key, base64_decode($data), 'ecb', $mcrypt_iv);
        mcrypt_module_close($mcrypt_module);

        return self::pkcs5_unpad($decrypted);
    }

    private static function pkcs5_pad($text, $blocksize) {
        $pad = $blocksize - (strlen($text) % $blocksize);
        return $text . str_repeat(chr($pad), $pad);
    }

    private static function pkcs5_unpad($text) {
        $pad = ord($text{strlen($text)-1});
        if ($pad > strlen($text)) return false;
        if (strspn($text, chr($pad), strlen($text) - $pad) != $pad) return false;
        return substr($text, 0, -1 * $pad);
    }
}

This may be what you want:

$td = mcrypt_module_open('tripledes', '', 'ecb', '');
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_RAND);
$nKeySize = mcrypt_enc_get_key_size($td);

$key = substr(sha1($encryptionKey), 0, $nKeySize);
mcrypt_generic_init($td, $key, $iv);
$nDataSize = strlen($plainBytes);
$sDataSize = substr(dechex(ceil(log($nDataSize,16))), -1) . dechex($nDataSize);

$cipherBytes = mcrypt_generic($td, $sDataSize . $plainBytes);

mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
mcrypt_module_close($td);

Notice I encrypt $sDataSize with the data because of the way 3DES encypts/decrypts blocks of data.
