Let's give one example. Computer experts have recently succeeded in deciphering one cipher of the old DES encryption standard within a couple of hours and they needed a large computational farm to be able to do that. If there was a high performance computer capable of deciphering one DES cipher within one second, it would decipher one AES-Rijndael cipher (one of the ciphers used in Safetica®) with a key length of 128 bits in 149 trillion years. This cipher is, however, provided in Safetica® with a key length of 256 bits. Thus, it would take 149 trillion x 149 trillion years to decipher the cipher. Other ciphers implemented in Safetica® have a similar performance.
A complicated standardized process has earned the cipher mentioned above the first place in the contest for a new encryption standard. This cipher was approved by the american National Security Agency (NSA) for the usage with materials up to the level of security TOP SECRET.
