Line 4: Re: authentication is possible, but you need a trusted channel first.. which involves asymmetric cryto... Sounds weird anyway. == Word usage == In your section marked "speed" I find the following sentence: "In practice, this means that a quality asymmetric key algorithm is hundreds or thousands of times slower than a quality symmetric key algorithm." The word "quality" unmodified has no meaning in this sentence. It is like saying "the plane was flying at an altitude." If it is off the ground, it has altitude, but, unmodified, gives no information on how far off the ground. High altitude? Low altitude? I believe you are trying to say "high quality." If this is so, may I suggest saying so? [[User:Kjdamrau\|Kjdamrau]] 06:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Ken Damrau
