[problem]
Want to know the encryption short or long names.
[/problem]
[solution]
DES – Digital Encryption Standard. Symmetric block encryption algorithm
3DES – Triple DES. Symmetric block algo – uses DES three times.
RC4 – Rivest Cipher #4. Symmetric algo uses stream encryption.
RSA – Rivest, Shamir, Adelman. Symmetric block algo.
IDEA – International Data Encryption Algo, symmetric block algo – used by PGP.
AES – Advanced Encryption Standard (Rijndael) – symmetric block algo.
