Touching base, When you have time to get back to us, if you have insight on question #1 it would be most helpful. In the meantime we are going ahead with using a smaller subset of cipher and authentication algorithms. Additionally we plan on using 10,000,000 total operations but this is not final and can be influenced by your response to question #2.
