+RSAREF is a free, portable software developer's library of popular
+encryption and authentication algorithms. The name "RSAREF" means
+"RSA reference." RSA Laboratories intends RSAREF to serve as a free,
+educational reference implementation of modern public- and secret-key
+cryptography.
+
+RSAREF 2.0 supports the following algorithms:
+
+ o RSA encryption and key generation, as defined by RSA
+ Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS)
+
+ o MD2 and MD5 message digests
+
+ o DES (Data Encryption Standard) in cipher-block chaining mode
+
+ o Diffie-Hellman key agreement
+
+ o DESX, RSA Data Security's efficient, secure DES enhancement
+
+ o Triple-DES, for added security with three DES operations
