a new attack has been found against AES - 256 http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/another_new_aes.html
it only works against 10 round AES-256 (which normally has 16 rounds) (am not overly worried, still use IDEA when encrypting for diehard pgp2.x e-mailers, and that has 5 of 8 rounds broken ;-) )) but as AES is the default gnupg block cipher of choice, am just bringing it to people's attention here vedaal any ads or links below this message are added by hushmail without my endorsement or awareness of the nature of the link _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
