Have you thought about changing to the PMC Block Cipher? PMC has higher encryption and it is supposed to be much faster. See http://www.pmc-ciphers.com/technology/pmc_fact_sheet.pdf. I don't know whether it is proprietary or not. If it is then at least upgrade the encryption to AES 512.
Thank you for your consideration in this request.

easyfit commentedHey Peter, and thanks for your input. I don't think I can do what you're asking though, because I'm using PHP's mcrypt extension for this module, and it seems like mcrypt doesn't support PMC, and as far as I know there's no 512 bit version of the Rijndael/AES cipher either.
I could very well be wrong though, I'm definitely no encryption expert.
