RSA? As in Rivest-Shamir-Adleman? I have seen this on the list multiple times now and I doubt very much that RSA is used. It must be slower than molasses running uphill in Siberia in January ... which is why RSA is never used for data encryption. Encryption of the symmetric key maybe, but of the data? And 128-bit RSA has a security lifetime of about 38 seconds, so it is little better than XOR obfuscation. Are you sure you do not mean RC4 or RC5? --- Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. Sometimes theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
