    The document compares the encryption standards AES and Triple-DES, noting that AES is now the FIPS standard selected by NIST and supported in GoodLink clients. AES uses a symmetric key of 192 bits, is faster than Triple-DES, and would take a very long time (149 trillion years) to crack with brute force using current computing power. In contrast, Triple-DES is slower and would take slightly less time (4.6 billion years) to crack.

    Encryption: AES versus Triple-DES

    All GoodLink messages are encrypted end-to-end using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) selected by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for its combination of resistance to attack, ease of implementation, efficiency, and scalable design. All GoodLink clients (Mobitex, Palm OS, and Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003) support Goods implementation of AES. AES vs. Triple-DES1 AES Description Timeline Type of algorithm Key size (in bits) Speed Time to crack (assume a machine could try 255 keys per second - NIST) Resource consumption Advanced Encryption Standard Official standard since 2001 Symmetric 192 High 149 trillion years Low Triple-DES Triple Data Encryption Standard Standardized 1977 Symmetric 168 Low 4.6 billion years Medium

    AES can encrypt data much faster than Triple-DES, a DES enhancement which essentially encrypts a message or document three times.1
