I do understand the the official guide is clearly not accurate. Words cannot describe how angry I am...Nevertheless - at least for my own peace of mind - I would like to throw another one from the guide:<br>
<br>" Encryption methods"<br><br>Shon Harris AIO - Page 679<br><br>"Methods of encryption"<br><br>As far as I can say as for as Shon is concerned 'methods' refers to symmetric vs. asymmentric<br>
