- Does anyone have an opinion on RSA's announcement that they are
- licensing their RC2 and RC4 encryption algorithms? They claim "these
- algorithms have recently been singled out by the Department of State
- for expedited export approval."
-
- Does anyone have an opinion on the technical merits of RC2 and RC4?
-
- It information also states that it is a "drop-in" replacement for DES,
- does that mean it can be used with RIPEM?
-
- I know that some of this information is available by ftp from rsa.com,
- but I'm looking for third-party opinions.
