[comp.sys.ibm.pc] passwords/encryption

roy@ics.uci.edu (John M.A. Roy) (02/13/90)

I may need to put some passwords into a program.  Does anybody know of
source for public encryption methods?  It would be nice if it were in
C.  It doesn't need to be fool-proof, it does need to be able to
handle some type of storage on the hard disk which needs to be
unreadable to others.

Thanks,
