I was looking at crypto_encrypt in the help file. It listed 3 algorithms that can be used with this command. They are:
%crypto_calg_rc2
%crypto_calg_rc4
%crypto_calg_des
Which is best to use?
Thanks
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
hard to say, but I remember from school that they go from oldest to newest as:
DES, RC2, RC4.
So I would maybe stick with the newest ones, as DES is quite easy to break using brute force ( hey, info from school, you may or not take it as truth :D ).
Bye,

Hi Sandy,
the choice depends from what you want make, DES it's quite secure but if you are undecided choose the %crypto_calg_rc4 that's the more secure one.
