I would like to know the overhead in size when encrypting a message of n bytes with 3DES.
A simple rule of thumb says that it will be n bytes plus the padding needed for n to be a multiple of 64 bits (8 bytes). Is it correct? and how the different modes (CBC,..)+ initialization vector influences that rule? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
