 Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2003 5:39 pm Post subject: Best crytoapi loopback cipher |
 |
|
I have been using crytoapi kernel patches and the crypto loopback for about a year now to encrypt my /var and /home with little to no problems.
Now has come the time to reload my laptop and I was wondering if I should go with a different cipher (I currnetly use twofish) or not.
What is (in your opinoin) the strongest (without being godawfull slow) cipher? Please no flame war...

I believe they are all strong enough. I use idea since it's AFAIK pretty fast and it's free for private use.
