Hi
all,
for those of you
utilizing sonicwall's vpn feature, I have a question.What are the general
feelings on des vs 3des encryption? Obviously 3des is more secure, but how
secure is des? Doing google searches, des seems to be somewhat laughed at,
but Sonicwall states that DES is safe for all but the most sensitive
information...I will be testing the 3des throughput versus the des throughput in
the near future to see just what the performance impact is. We have the
sonicwall pro with a 233 processor and never more than 5 concurrent vpn sessions
going at the same time. Is this processor enough to handle 5 simultaneous
3des vpn sessions?(as I will only be able to test it with one session at a time
after hours) What are your opinions as of the security of des, very
secure, or don't bother with it?
thanks
again
Jeff
