Sounds nice ;)
Just two topics are still uncovered. 
1st. Encrypting tar-archives (backups). I'm currently using gpg (with twofish) 
to do that task. Is multiple-key encryption also necessary there? Due to the 
structure, known plaintext-attacks are possible. And what about avi-files? 
They have a block-structure as well....  If so, how should I use aes-pipe in 
order to do so?

2nd. 
Is there a max amount of data (limit) which can be encrypted safely?

Keep smiling
