In connection with the implementation of secure (X.400 based) Message Handling Systems, I'm looking for any available programs to perform DES and/or RSA encryption. Before you start telling me about it: Yes, I'm aware that there is a version of DES used in Unix systems to encrypt passwords. Yes, I'm aware of the MP multiple precision math package running under Unix. The trouble with both of these is that they are simply too slow! The Unix DES because (among other things) it was made slow on purpose; the mp package because it is a very general package using a lot of malloc/free calls. So I'm looking for something faster... Preferably written in C or Pascal, running on VMS or Unix systems. Any help is appreciated!
