I am looking for an MS-DOS based, public domain program that with do public key encryption based on the RSA standard. Does anyone know the name of such a program and/or an ftp site where it could be obtained? A companion program to generate the keys would be nice too! Please reply direct as I do not normally subscribe to this group. Harold hgpeach@ms.uky.edu -- Harold G. Peach, Jr. ><> N4FLZ _% hgpeach@s.ms.uky.edu

you might try PGP - Phil's Pretty Good Software provides Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) from Philip Zimmerman. (lots of P's I know :-) Anyway works well on a DOS machine. Be aware of patent status of RSA in the US (through 2000) for commercial use. Check with ARCHIE for an ftp site. I seem to have misplaced it. -- John C.

RIPEM is not, strictly speaking, public domain because it uses technology licensed free of charge from RSA Data Security. The license agreement precludes commercial use and has some other provisions, but is probably generous enough for most sci.crypt purposes. (The code in RIPEM that I wrote is public domain.) Persons genuinely interested in becoming beta testers can send me email at mrr@scss3.cl.msu.edu. I will only take about 10 more testers before releasing the program, though. I've learned my lesson and will not make a public prediction of the date of final release! Mark R.

I am interested in writing a small encryption/decryption program (not for commercial release - for my own use) that uses RSA and/or DES. Can anyone direct me to good sources of information that would enable me to implement these techniques from scratch? (high level descriptions of the techniques aren't terribly useful, but they will do if you know of no other sources). Thanks in advance, Paul P.S. you can reply directly to me or to here.......
