You can secure the database with multiple cyphers . . . including more than one at the same time. But some things I have been reading claim that multiple encryption formats at the same time might actually make it easier to break the encryption.


BTW, I did notice PAE was quite slow relative to other forms. Would speeding it up a bit still make it more secure without the loss of time?
new version will be faster, while keeping all the advantages.

Keep in mind that AES itself is a standard, so it is same in every program (or it should be), it is everything else thats different and that may make the difference in speed or cracking or speed of cracking i guess :-).

I think for vast majority of population who simply dont want their docs easily available, some relatively simple yet unassuming password is fine... just dont use dates and names, because thats how dictionary attacks are done and are used for faster crack of the password.
