Hello

We have an application which is communicating with a server using
TCPListener/TCPClient (stream)

Now we want to protect the data which is sent over the stream. The data is
in bytes or strings and then written to the stream.

As speed is very important, we are looking for a way to encrypt the data in
a very fast but robust way. As we figured out, TripleDES is too slow for
that.

What other encryption is robust, but also fast?

We have also implemented XTea (X Tiny Encryption Algorythmus), which is a
lot faster than TripleDES, but still not extremly fast and also not that
robust as AES.

Are there other possibilities?

how do you protect the data?

Thanks

Sven

Why not AES itself? Unlike DES, AES was designed for efficient software
implementation.
