Hi Everyone,
I am planning to write an encryption utility. I want to know what’s the best algorithm available. What’s the best algorithm available at the moment?

How about DES, PGP and Blowfish are they crackable (realistically) or is there any better algorithm available apart from the above there.

I would like to hear your views on this. I want to know what algorithm is best in terms of speed and safety.

I specially want to hear from the Gurus. I would appriciate if you give me your views on this.

Thanks in advance.

Danial
