As part of my undergraduate thesis, I am writing a software application
which will create a network similiar to that of Usenet, only on a PC level
-- designed for the average home computer user, with nodes leading to UUCP
etc.

anyway, I'm well into the portion of thecode which allows users to bounce
mail (and news) through other nodes in order to save phone costs, and for
general distribution.

anyway, being that there are a few people out there who arn't honest, I
feel that it might be a good idea to encrypt messages before they bounce
through a node.

Right now I am looking for either an existing public domain program, or
just some suggestions for an encryption routine that I can utilize. 

If anyone reading this happens to have something they've written themselves,
I could not reward you in a monetary sense, however I would cite you as a 
reference on the completed program.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
