If the first and last key are the same, the key length is 112 bits.
There are attacks that could reduce the key space to 55 bit's but it
requires 2^56 blocks of memory.
There are attacks that could reduce the effective key strength
to only slightly more than 56 bits, but these require a lot of memory.
