Ah yeah....sorry! :)
I wanna create a crypto-fs and Twofish is faster as Blowfish.
The only howto I found was
http://www.backwatcher.org/writing/howtos/obsd-encrypted-filesystem.html .
And this howto works with Blowfish.
"Why should we use another alorithm? Blowfish is fast and secure."
Yes you're right. But I need (personaly) an algorithm which is faster.
Because I have not enough money for a "high-end-computer" or some Intel-III
stuff.
I have very sensible data and only a VIA C3 900Mhz in my server. :)
And so I hope somebody could help(and understand) me. :o)
I need a strong and (in software) fast algorithm.
YES I'm only one guy and YES only I need a bether algorithm.... but I will
be lucky if you could help me. :)
