Encryption Speed Diagnostics
8.SSH Sentinel runs diagnostics on the encryption algorithms as the last step of the installation. You can bypass this step by clicking the Skip button on the dialog box. These diagnostics reveal the speeds of the encryption algorithms compared to each other. SSH Sentinel supports the following ciphers: Rijndael, Twofish, Blowfish, Cast, 3DES and DES.
Figure 11. Encryption Speed Diagnostics screen.
With the exception of DES, all of these ciphers can be considered secure for commercial use.
The DES encryption algorithm is supported as a fallback option for interoperability reasons. Rijndael, an encryption algorithm widely considered fast, secure and reliable, is used as the default cipher by SSH Sentinel.
The diagnostics also reveal the relative speed of your computer running the algorithms. There is a lot of contradictory information available on encryption speeds. The diagnostics give you the chance to use your own judgment. The diagnostics measure the encryption speed of your computer within the memory. The data packets are not transmitted to the network. This is a common way to measure performance by
