RSA is a public/private key algorithm which requires much longer encryption keys to be secure, 1024 bit minimum. You're thinking of a symmetric encryption algorithm, which 128 bit is the minimum considered secure. Checkout Wikipedia for more info. Not really.

Hey RipVanDubbie...did you actually read the fucking article? “If the encryption algorithm is implemented correctly, it could take one PC with a 2.2GHz processor around 30 years to crack a 660-bit key.”

It would take a room full of super computers HUNDREDS (if not thousands) of years to crack a 256 bit encryption. Wow, thats impressive. JT www.FireMe.to/udi Wow, a 1024 bit encryption key?
