PPTP and encryption / RC4 weaknesses

2002-03-04 Thread Jean-Francois Dive
hi all, I was wondering: PPTP use RC4 up to 128 bit keys as an encryption mechanism. I'd like to have the impressions from people of the list about the cryptographic strenght of such algorithm, especially now that wireless WEP RC4 based encryption have been broken. I understand that the
