SPX stands for Sphinx, a public-key authentication system by DEC
that uses the RSA cryptosystem (under license).  As I understand
it, SPX is still considered "experimental" and not a commercial
product.  Most of the source is available via anonymous FTP
from one of your favorite sites, such as crl.dec.com.
I believe that you need to sign a form to get the RSA part
of the source, though.
