RSA based products are available from RSA Data Security
(415-595-8782) for reasonable prices. They have two products,
Mailsafe and BSAFE. Mailsafe is a
product which sends encrypted electronic mail between PC's. BSAFE
is the coded RSA algorithms in 'C'. My only objection to paying them
lots of money is that if the Government already has rights to the
stuff, I will only pay them a reasonable charge for the implementation,
not for rights to use it.
