I have a similar question: By how much does encryption
with standard encryption algorythms (3DES, RC4, etc.) increase
the size of a large file I'm transmitting? If I am transferring
an already compressed 1 MB file, for example, using say 3DES,
is there a significant bandwidth hit or does the size of the file
stay roughly the same?
