Not 108 bit but 112bit. I already cited the source - Pfleeger. On the 128bit key issue, it'll definitely increase the work but that still doesn't make the algorithm more complex as DES works best with a 64bit key. Any attempt at changing it has always resulted in reducing the effectiveness of the encryption. -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
