Can you say SSLeay toolkit (which is what cryptozilla is using) which has been
around for about 3 years. The DES/triple-DES stuff in there has been around
for almost 10 years. It was posted to comp.sources.misc back around 1990(?).
As a point of trivia, all of you people with your Genuine BSAFE 3.0 libraries,
which cannot leave the 'land of the free', have a look in the manuals, in the
first few pages. There is attribution to a certain Eric Young for use of the
core of his DES implementation in that particular toolkit. If people
outside the USA cannot implement crypto algorithms, how did this occur?
