hi...

So here is the text from the readme...
Have fun

Encryption Algorithms
---------------------

Blowfish
Algorithm Website: http://www.counterpane.com/blowfish.html
Type: Class
Key Size: Variable Length up to 448-bits
Speed: 125kb/sec compiled (Pentium II)
Note: One of the best algorithms in the industry.

Twofish
Algorithm Website: http://www.counterpane.com/twofish.html
Type: Class
Key Size: 256-bits
Speed: 110kb/sec compiled (Pentium II)
Note: Blowfish's baby brother. Very secure.

Rijndael
Algorithm Website: http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/
Type: Class
Key Size: 128-bits
Speed: Not tested
Note: Rijndael is the new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Skipjack
Algorithm Website: http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/tkencryption.html
Type: Class
Key Size: 80-bits
Speed: Not tested
Note: Property of the NSA. Patents apply for commercial use. Strong but iffy.

Serpent
Algorithm Website: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/serpent.html?uniq=1446
Type: Class
Key Size: 256-bits
Speed: 35kb/sec compiled (Pentium II)
Note: Very slow implementation of the 256-bit version of Serpent. Still very secure.

Gost
Algorithm Website: http://www.jetico.sci.fi/index.htm#/gost.htm
Type: Class
Key Size: 256-bits
Speed: Not tested
Note: Developed by the former USSR. Strong but has many notable weaknesses.

RC4
Algorithm Website: http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/3-6-3.html
Type: Class
Key Size: Variable Length up to 2040-bits
Speed: Very very fast (you'll see)
Note: Property of RSA Labs (Patents apply for commercial use).

TEA
Algorithm Website: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/Papers/dj...jw-rmn-tea.html
Type: Class
Key Size: 128-bits
Speed: Not tested
Note: No real comments except that it is strong.

DES
Algorithm Website: http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/des/
Type: Class
Key Size: 56-bits
Speed: Not tested
Note: Formerly known as Lucifer. Insecure by today's standards.

Hash Algorithms
---------------

MD5
Unofficial Website: http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/cs/md5/md5.html
Type: Class

SHA
Algorithm Website: http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/tkhash.html
Type: Class

SHA256
Algorithm Website: http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/tkhash.html
Type: Class

Compression algorithms
----------------------

Huffman Compression
Type: Class
Speed: 1.7mb/sec compiled (Pentium II)
Note: Not a cryptographic algorithm. It's a compression algorithm.

heh.. this would be a nice thing to have for my IT projects for questions like "how have you secured your data"

however.. why does NAV think there is an IRC pager in it?

Buz....can you show me the NAV details....ASAP

I tried it on 2 scanners and all seemed.... ok to me ??????????

Kaspersky also tells this shit,.. i dont know why! may some bytes are like anoter tool.. !??
But the Algorithms areokandworkfine...!!

the program look like the one posted at PSC.... i been looking for it and wanted to compare them

out of curiosity... were did you DL from realmasterX ??

thanks

im sorry, but i dont remember... long time ago

i found it @ my box some days ago.
