The U.S. government has standardized an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm after four years of testing. The original encryption formula is developed by two Belgian scientists, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. Will the new standard pass the test of time? By comparison to the old standard, where government used triple DES with an effective symmetric strength of 112 bits, we are far ahead now. The 256 bit key space allows for over 1 followed by 77 zeros combinations. Several companies are already offering AES crypto toolkits and new products are emerging. For example a toolkit from Cryptix includes the new AES for some time now. Also, CryptoHeaven is already offering a data exchange platform with AES 256 bit security. Watch for more exciting new products as they are doomed to come to the computer near you!
Privacy comes at a price. You are talking about a way of creating PRIVATE communities that require authentication to join, and not OPEN community that kazaa provides. Neverless, http://www.cryptoheaven.com is a good choice.
This is an alternative, and rather much more private solution than KaZaa. However with a slightly different purpose. The difference is that it allows for creation of PRIVATE communities to exchange data, not OPEN communities. Good choice neverless.
