I wasn't aware there were multiple things masquerading under the name Secure RPC. In any event, does the crypto in DCE stand up to the LaMacchia/Odlyzko attacks? (And did Sun ever upgrade what they ship?)
DCE security (including RPC) is Kerberos based, somewhere between V4 and V5, and appears to be about as strong as DES lets it be.
