Best Answer

It depends on the cipher you're using. For AES, the minimum is 128-bit (or 16-bytes) where as the maximum is 256 or 512 (depends on the implementation you're using - AES or Rijndael [from which AES was selected to become the AES standard by the US government]).

Another thing to consider is the block-chaining mode and the hashing algorithm. It's generally recognized that ECB and SHA-1 are no longer secure (but still okay for using as a RNG), while SHA-256 hashes and debatably CBC and XTS.

How can i convert decrypt code into ordinary language?

There is no simple answer to this question. Each encoding or encryption will have an associated decoding/decryption. In order to figure out the original message you need to at least know how it was encoded. If it was encrypted, then you will likely also need additional information such as encryption keys.

You need all the keys to that one collection. Some collections have 5 keys, or 8 keys.


Is there an override for wep keys?

The only way would be to log into your router itself, and disable all security, meaning the DS doesn't need an encryption key. But that's technically unsafe, and you may as well just keep the router using WEP security and enter the encryption key into the DS.


Why are all your access points locked on your Nintendo Dsi?

They're likely not 'your' access points, they are other people's. If you don't know their encryption keys, then you are not supposed to be using them - get your own wireless router. If you do have a wireless router, and that appears on the DSi, then you need to enter your own encryption key from your router, to let it access it.

What is symmetric and asymmetric?

From another user: Symmetric cryptography uses the same secret (private) key to encrypt and decrypt its data whereas asymmetric uses both a public and private key. Symmetric requires that the secret key be known by the party encrypting the data and the party decrypting the data. Asymmetric allows for distribution of your public key to anyone with which they can encrypt the data they want to send securely and then it can only be decoded by the person having the private key. This eliminates the need of having to give someone the secret key (as with symmetric encryption) and risk having it compromised. The issue with asymmetric is that it is about 1000 times slower than symmetric encryption which makes it impractical when trying to encrypt large amounts of data. Also to get the same security strength as symmetric, asymmetric must use strong a stronger key than symmetric.
