RE: Triple-DES algorithm on AS/400

[Emilio Padilla - Sistemática Intl. <EPADILLA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IMHO, why would you want to load encryption/decryption to the as/400?
Wouldn't be easier to buy a cheap firewall (us$ 600) and connect one of your
Ethernet card to it? Let the firewall do the encryption/decryption that's
what the built for.

Gene published a MI version of  Twofish some years ago.  Actually it was a
REXX procedure that generated the MI source and then created the program.

One of the problems with MI's CIPHER is you need to check that the specific
encryption/hash function you want has been installed on your system.


I haven't had any experience with this, but it's multi-platform (including
OS/400).
