It's the only one readily available in the retail market. (If I'm missing some offers, let me know.) > It mentions AES but not blowfish. There isn't any crypto accelerator that implements Blowfish. Blowfish's interest is limited nowadays. It was attractive back when the top mainstreamer cipher was 3DES, which is slow in software, but AES is just as fast as Blowfish--in fact AES was faster for some scp(1) tests I did, if I remember correctly--and has received more scrutiny by the cryptographic community. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
