Yarrow does one block encryption | for every output block and a generator gate every 10 blocks. This | would allow for at least 40 mbit/s output on a 200 Mhz PPro when | using Rijndael/256/256. It was my understanding that we weren't using Rijndael/256 yet. Is this going to change? -- Dan Moschuk (TFreak!dan@freebsd.org) "Don't get even -- get odd!"
