RE: Encryption algorithm standards

[Tony Stead <stoneyted77 () googlemail com>]

Ronish,
A good place to start would be the NSA Suite B algorithms.

http://www.nsa.gov/ia/programs/suiteb_cryptography/index.shtml

The Suite B algorithms are public domain algorithms and approved for
use in securing data up to NSA secret, when implemented appropriately
anyway ;-)

Hope this helps,

Tony.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
