I wouldn't count Twofish out yet; in fact I'd be surprized in Rijndael won by itself. Twofish will also have better performance in Java. But I think the correct answer to the question of "which algorithm do we implement now" is "XOR"; i.e., let's make sure we can plug one in when needed (perhaps even have code for serval available to plug), make sure they all work, but not make the decision yet. There's no need to paint ourselves into a corner yet until everything is working, and by that time AES will probably be out. -- Lee Daniel Crocker <lee at piclab.com> <http://www.piclab.com/lcrocker.html> "All inventions or works of authorship original to me, herein and past, are placed irrevocably in the public domain, and may be used or modified for any purpose, without permission, attribution, or notification."--LDC _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
