I've been reading this thread in the archives, on loop-aes and then the |
| 2 |
security of AES. I hate to jump on the bandwagon, so before I do, I will |
| 3 |
state that I *am* a crypto-expert, and have worked for the several |
| 4 |
government entities in the US. I am not at liberty to tell you which ones. |

Mr. Walters: It is not all that easy to crack a *secure* key with the |
| 7 |
AES-256 cipher. This holds true, even with networks of super-computers. Just |
| 8 |
how many of them do you think the NSA (you named it), has to spare for |
| 9 |
things like that? Parallel and distributed computing does not help much with |
| 10 |
AES, since it is a CBC cipher algorithm (look it up). |

I think you need to do some research on the subject you say you're majoring |
| 13 |
in, before you post on the topic, Mr. Walters. |
