<The only issue I wanted to point out is encrypting large amounts of data is processor intensive. Therefore when I'm saving my large NuoMedia document my desktop CPU needs to take the key and encrypt all the data before it pushes it up the socket to the server. The larger the key bit size the more processor intensive it is ; the more secure the more processor intensive.> A 400 Mhz PII or Celeron (an average machine) will encrypt a 500k file nearly instantaneusly. The average file size is about 64k.
