Thanks for the people responding to my query regarding public domain implementations of RSA. Several people informed me that RSA was a licensed algorithm (!) so that no public domain version existed. I received no flames at all (the worst was a suggestion that I was "sweetly naive", which I take as a compliment). What kindly and well-behaved gentlepeople! This leads to my next query: are there other public key encryption schemes which ARE public domain, and if so, does anyone have leads on them? Responses by mail, please -- I will forward copies to net-people expressing an interest. Thanks, Paul Kleppner VenturCom, Inc. 617/661-1230 {seismo!harvard,genrad!mit-eddie}!cybvax0!vcvax1!paul
