We're just going to disagree on this point, Tony. The immediate problem to solve is clear enough, but in my view so is the future in this case. The algorithm and/or key length will change at some point in the future, or at the very least it's entirely reasonable to expect either/both to change.
Of course there's a balance, but that balance should not mean *zero* thought about the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
