I just wanted to jump in and say that I'm personally a fan of Serpent. I |
| 2 |
like to use something that's a little less popular, but still open. It is |
| 3 |
similar in strength (IMHO), but there will be more people trying to break |
| 4 |
AES than Serpent. For example, I've read the XSL attack that can weaken AES |
| 5 |
is too complex when used on Serpent -- it would be more expensive than a |
| 6 |
brute force attack. |
