Well, with 128-bit SSL tunneled in 168-bit 3DES SR, you could safely send
nuclear weapon designs without worrying about prosecution... :)
In other words, either one of these encryption algoritms alone is more than
sufficient from a security perspective unless you are extremely paranoid.
128-bit SSL has been cracked, but it took several weeks with a huge
computer. It isn't likely that anyone will intercept your data stream and
go to all that work unless your data is extremely valuable.

Subject: [FW1] SSL vs. Securemote
I have an SSL web application that I use Securemote to access. I am
pondering the need for Securemote at all in this scenario.
Would there be any security benefit by using Securemote to access a SSL web
application as opposed to just relying on the security built into SSL?
