Will this be the same forever? Joachim Fritschi posted partially assembler implementation of twofish for AMD64 to linux-kernel mailing list today. I haven't looked at it yet. For blowfish... my advise is to not use blowfish to encrypt large amounts of data. It has 64 bit block size, and it is present in loop-AES' additional ciphers package mostly for compatibility with some old implementations. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
