If I'm not mistaken, this is actually using Triple DES at 128
bits, so this is still decently strong. The problem
Brad,
We can agree that the 40 bit stuff is not worth the trouble. My 128
bit Lucent card says "128-bit RC-4 encryption". Last I heard, RC-4 was
not considered a "safe" algorithm.
Also, in any multi-user environment, the secret must be too public. (I
believe that when I know something, it's
