It just occured to me that it seems you're conflating bits and bytes. Doesn't a 64-bit-block cipher operate on 2**3 rather than 2**6 bytes? That would make it 2**35 bytes or 32 GiB. It would be 256 gibibit rather than gibibyte. Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
