Line 32: ==Security== The estimated strength of the encryption corresponds to about 60-80 bits for ~~commong~~common symmetrical ciphers (see [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3526.html RFC3526] chapter 8). This is quite low for today's standards but one has to keep in mind that this protocol wasn't designed as a secure transport protocol but as fast and efficient obfuscation method. [[Advanced Encryption Standard\|AES]] was proposed as the encryption method but not adopted because it consumed too much CPU time and the required D-H keys to achieve a security equal to [[Advanced Encryption Standard\|AES]] would have been much bigger or require [[Elliptic Curve Cryptography]], making the handshake more expensive in terms of used CPU time. ==Note==
