I must modify my statement about the DES program that was posted to net.sources several months ago. Previously, I said that the program did not do DES encryption. I tested it and observed that, while it could encrypt and decrypt blocks, the encrypted blocks did not meet the expected output unless weak keys were used. However, I may have broken it (sorry, I can't check because I no longer have the orignal) or it may have been broken as posted. Richard Outerbridge has sent me a later version of the program and that version successfully handles the NBS triples. Bob Devine
