At the moment the requirement is that the service key and the session
key be limited to one of the single DES types. DES-CBC-CRC,
DES-CBC-MD5, DES-CBC-MD4.
In some future we will support stronger encryption types.
Exactly what does this "future" depend on:
* Simple developer time to implement?
* Encryption algorithm licensing?
* Encryption algorithm development?
* Does the AFS codebase have a modular encryption scheme where a new
algorithm can simply be "plugged in"?
* Can you just simply use the prototype encryption algorithms from their
respective RFCs?
* If you started today on a full time basis, how long do you think it would
it take to add AES for example?
* Would this also include the implementation time for "fs crypt"?
