If you're interested, I have MPE-compilable source for DES encryption/decrypt-
ion routines. It's a "standard" (i.e. compatible with other implementations),
it's legal and unencumbered by license restrictions, with suitable key sizes
it's been proven robust, and it's free. It requires private-keys (i.e. it's
not a public-key system in itself, though most public-key systems end up
using DES or triple-DES as their actual encryption algorythms after they
determine the keys to use), the source is in C, and the actual code works on
a single block at a time (so you'll need to call it repeatedly for long
strings - though it's not to tough to figure out).

If you want a copy of the source, let me know.
