Hello all. Sorry I'm not around really anymore on the forums, but I do check my SETI output every few days to make sure the majority of my clients and SetiQueue are still running.
Anyways, I'm going to be teaching a very low-tech group about how to use our internet banking website. In doing so, the group would like me to speak a little on security of sensitive data on the internet. I was going to illustrate how strong SSL 128-bit encryption is by using the RC5-64 project as an example. I plan on saying that RSA Labs 64 bit encryption took a worldwide, concentrated effort of over 300,000 computers nearly 5 years to break the code. 128 bit encryption is exponentially much harder to crack, therefore that should give them a sense of security. Even if someone could listen to the network data going to and from their computers, it would be like listening to an scrambled wire tap that sounded like nothing but noise.
Is this accurate to say?
