Use Launchbar to access securely stored passwords
Authored by: notmatt on Jan 28, '04 11:38:33AM
AES-128 is the new strong encryption standard for the US Government, and was selected on an open competition. It's widely regarded as secure. In fact, it's likely much more secure than any number of other things on your laptop already. AES Homepage. Comments in Cryptogram by Bruce Perens.

Use Launchbar to access securely stored passwords

Having dusted off my InfoSec brain cells on the AES spec (FIPS-197, cheers for the pointer) I am suitably reassured of it's strength. I'm still left wondering why Apple doesn't offer us the option of AES-192 and AES-256 as well as the 128 bit variant.
