Right, but even though a 1.5GHz machine is a bit old (heh...) for a workstation, my dinky little Linksys WRT54GC wireless AP still needs to AES-encrypt a theoretical maximum of 54Mbps when I turn on WPA.
Unless you're using your Linksys for file-sharing between machines at home, you're not likely to be encrypting more than about 6 Mbps (or whatever DSL and Cable Modem do these days in better cities.)
Thus, something faster than AES, but still strong, would be nice. Your point about CPU cache size vs. pad size is well-taken, though.
I'd trust RC4-used-correctly before trusting Tri-Strata, if there weren't so much bad history of people misusing RC4... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
