Thanks for the people responding to my query regarding
public domain implementations of RSA.  Several people
informed me that RSA was a licensed algorithm (!) so that
no public domain version existed.  I received no flames
at all (the worst was a suggestion that I was "sweetly naive",
which I take as a compliment).  What kindly and well-behaved gentlepeople!

This leads to my next query: are there other public key
encryption schemes which ARE public domain, and if so,
does anyone have leads on them?

Responses by mail, please -- I will forward copies to
net-people expressing an interest.


Thanks,
