[net.crypt] Another Whitsmith's DES Query

outer@utcsri.UUCP (Richard Outerbridge) (06/15/85)

Another question about the Whitsmith's 'C' compiler encryption
software: does anyone know if it really *is* DES?  I tried to get
some known pt/ct pairs from it and got nowhere.  Even reversing
the bits in the plaintext bytes didn't work.  The key-schedule
subroutine wasn't returning "real" DES schedules either, as far
as I could tell.  Anyone know how to make the Whitsmith's routines
cough up results compatible with a "certified" DES set?
