Will JAWS L5 4096 ultimately replace SSL 3.0 (security socket layer), RSA, and J/SSl java encryption technologies as a standard for electronic commerce on the Internet because of JAW's bit capacity ensuring greater security? No, L5 will not replace SSL 3.0. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol, not an encryption algorithm. I think there are currently five different encryption algorithms supported by SSL...RC2, RC4, DES, 3DES and IDEA. How does L5 4096 compare to other encryption schemes i.e. algorithms also currently be developed like VME by meganet? (see meganet.com) It has more bits, but is it better? No one knows how secure L5 is because the algorithm isn't in the public domain. These algorithms are referred to as "snake oil" by the industry. counterpane.com (Both Meganet and JAWS are mentioned in this article.) cs.auckland.ac.nz (Long load time...snake oil links towards the end) Has JAWZ secured any contracts yet for their products from security sensitive clients like the military or any governments? Read about FIPS 140-1 requirements for sales to the government. Message 9529358 As a side note, this was big news for Certicom today... biz.yahoo.com
