a lot of information has been reported recently
<http://www.propublica.org/article/the-nsas-secret-campaign-to-crack-undermine-internet-encryption>
regarding NSA an back-door entries behind digital encryption

attached are some notes I offered recently on the MINT forum

i have altered my cipher preference list as follows

TWOFISH CAST5 BLOWFISH 3DES AES AES192 AES256 CAMELLIA128 CAMELLIA192
CAMELLIA256

based on recent revelations we should probably not use any commercially
offered cipher
