What crypto functions are considered modern and usable? The list I have right now is:
RSA IDEA DES 3DES RC4 RC5 BLOWFISH MD4 MD5
I wouldn't use BLOWFISH. MD4 is flawed -- and its a hash function, not a crypto function (as is MD5). RC5 is very, very new. RC4 hasn't been well studied in the open literature yet, though it is quite promising. .pm
