OpenAFS provides a client initiated crypt mode that uses an embarrassing weak encryption method. This will be addressed in OpenAFS 2.0 with the addition of the RXGK security class. It is worth noting that the primary selling point of NFSv4 is that the client will be built into every Unix/Linux based operating system. However, you still won't have a client for Microsoft Windows. OpenAFS on the other hand does have a client for Windows and has one today not some unspecified date in the future.
