For those on recent encryption threads talking about DES, blowfish etc there looks to be a new standard. Rijndael 160 and 224 bit encryption has it's PDF spec online at the link above and looks certain to be the next DES (AES).

I tried to code DES a year or so ago in VB and it ran like a dog, I'm hoping to have learned enough to try to impliment this one...

well, it'll be fun even if I don't get anything decent up and running... !

just an FYI for those interested...
