Hallo Roberto Ramsis,

DES is obsolete since few years, (not only) since its key length is fixed to 56bit
effective. Even TripleDES has only 112bit effective.

With GOST, i had not to deal yet, but Blowfish seems to be quite good and fast enough for
almost any use. Be sure to use 128bit keylength upwards.

Best regards,

Malte von dem Hagen
