| Hi, I am new to encryption and I would like to know which encryption scheme would be best suited for sending encrypted packets using UDP in a real-time shooter game. Speed is the most important priority here since I will be handling a hundred or more clients on a server. I am using this RC4 encryption algorithm here: http://www.blitzmax.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1711 Noel's post ( 'N' ) is pretty fast about 8 milliseconds on my system, but faster is better.:) I am converting floats and integers to four byte strings and then encrypting them with the above. Then sending them to the client (or vise versa) , then converting them back. So, is this the best approach to sending encrypted UDP packets? Thanks, Last edited 2012 |
