The OpenSSL package available on Jazz: 
http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/hp_freeware/openssl/ includes libcrypto
If you have Apache installed, you may already have OpenSSL and libcrypto.
See http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/EVP_EncryptInit.html
It also includes the openssl command-line utility, which includes a 
"crypt" command, but it sounds like you want programmatic access.

The library on Jazz excludes certain algorithms that were 
patent-encumbered at the time, although most or all of the patents have 
since expired.
It does include Blowfish, CAST, and triple DES, any of which should be 
adequate.
If you need the excluded algorithms, or want the newer AES (Rijndael) 
algorithm, you can compile from the sources at openssl.org.

As Donna mentioned, I'm putting together a Perl distribuation which will 
include a few Crypt modules.  I can include other Crypt modules, like 
IDEA, Blowfish, etc. if anyone wants them.
