AES-256 means AES with 128-bit block and 256-bit key, so AES-256 encrypts the same amount of data as AES-128. As of hardware implementation, one can use several engines in parallel, although even a single one can be faster than needed, for example, with 280 MHz there are 2e7 blocks per second, that is 320 Mbyte per second. -- Regards, ASK --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
