I'm still not quite sure what to make of this new algorithm. I'm sure it'll have least "pretty good" security. :-) My bottom line after skimming the reports... I know that it has been criticized for complexity and that it sucks cpu the worst out of all the candidates (except when we start going to newfangled 64 bit processors), but my advanced encryption standard still remains twofish. :-) But the momentuum behind AES will no doubt mean that we'll have to implement Rinjandel all over too. cheers, --dr :-) -- Dragos Ruiu <dr@dursec.com> dursec.com ltd. / kyx.net - we're from the future gpg/pgp key on file at wwwkeys.pgp.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
