MD5 is the general standard that most folks like....
In the Perl World it is almost ubiquitous - since you
sorta need it for libwww-perl....
but some freaks of course go PGP all the way:
"
Pick your RSA key size:
1) 512 bits- Low commercial grade, fast but less secure
2) 768 bits- High commercial grade, medium speed, good security
3) 1024 bits- "Military" grade, slow, highest security
"
It's a Size thing...
I guess the question is why are you encrypting, rather
than transmitting that data through say SSL v2/v3 -
and leaving that type of heavy lifting to the SSL freaks.
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=SSL
or is that your question - which one of those freaks would
you trust with your Secure Socket Layer????
Ok, so I'm Old School and would either choose RSA....
for the old school tie, or just stay with OpenSSL...
