- Guten Tag!
-
- Due to the complexity of the DES algorithm involving various bit
- swapping and table lookup operations during multiple iterations I am
- wondering how fast the DES is in praxis.
-
- Is it possible for a software solution to reach an encryption rate
- of about 100kB/sec (read 100 * 1024 Byte not 100 * 1024 Bit per second)
- on a typical PC (say, Intel 386DX 33MHz)?
-
- If not: are there any other secure encryption/decryption algorithms
- which are running faster?
-
- Any information will be appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your
- help!
