What I envision as a problem with encryption is that there does not seem to be a standard that evaluates the speed of the encryption/decryption process OR the level of security offered.

Speed of encryption/decryption could easily be determined by a standard sample of files eg. a folder consisting of a specified number of pictures, say 2 Gb of 500 pics averaging 4 Mb/pic; OR 5 Gb video; OR a test spreadsheet of x Mb or Gb; OR a manuscript of x Gb.

Also there is lacking a standardized comparison of the security offered making it impossible for the user to compare the security from one program to the next. TrueCrypt offers AES 256 and Two Fish. BUT, 448 BlowFish has been touted as "unbreakable". Then there is the vague "Military Grade Encryption" but whose military?

Just my thoughts...
