I heard of AES and I think I love it:) Only I am not sure of browser |
18 |
support. |

Mozilla support AES just fine, but I don't know what's the ealiest |
21 |

must make sure of it. |

I posted questions several times about IE's support over AES to |

microsoft.public.* newsgroups, it seems they don't give a shit of the |
26 |
