RSAREF is a free, portable software developer's library of popular
encryption and authentication algorithms. The name "RSAREF" means
"RSA reference." RSA Laboratories intends RSAREF to serve as a free,
educational reference implementation of modern public- and secret-key
cryptography.
If you are located outside the USA, you should use the security/librsaintl
port instead, which has better performance and fewer limitations.
RSAREF 2.0 supports the following algorithms:
o RSA encryption and key generation, as defined by RSA
Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS)
o MD2 and MD5 message digests
o DES (Data Encryption Standard) in cipher-block chaining mode
o Diffie-Hellman key agreement
o DESX, RSA Data Security's efficient, secure DES enhancement
o Triple-DES, for added security with three DES operations
