I'd be interested in hearing the rationale for that assumption. Granted, the Salsa family are good stream ciphers, so in an application where a stream cipher fits better than a block cipher, Salsa will be preferable to AES. That does not imply your assumption. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
