-The primary ftp site for this library is
-ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/DES/libdes-x.xx.tar.gz
-libdes is now also shipped with SSLeay. Primary ftp site of
-ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSL/SSLeay-x.x.x.tar.gz
-
-The best way to build this library is to build it as part of SSLeay.
-
-This kit builds a DES encryption library and a DES encryption program.
-It supports ecb, cbc, ofb, cfb, triple ecb, triple cbc, triple ofb,
-triple cfb, desx, and MIT's pcbc encryption modes and also has a fast
-implementation of crypt(3).
-It contains support routines to read keys from a terminal,
-generate a random key, generate a key from an arbitrary length string,
-read/write encrypted data from/to a file descriptor.
-
-The implementation was written so as to conform with the manual entry
-for the des_crypt(3) library routines from MIT's project Athena.
-
-destest should be run after compilation to test the des routines.
-rpw should be run after compilation to test the read password routines.
-The des program is a replacement for the sun des command. I believe it
-conforms to the sun version.
-
-The Imakefile is setup for use in the kerberos distribution.
-
-These routines are best compiled with gcc or any other good
-optimising compiler.
-Just turn you optimiser up to the highest settings and run destest
-after the build to make sure everything works.
-
-I believe these routines are close to the fastest and most portable DES
-routines that use small lookup tables (4.5k) that are publicly available.
-The fcrypt routine is faster than ufc's fcrypt (when compiling with
-gcc2 -O2) on the sparc 2 (1410 vs 1270) but is not so good on other machines
-(on a sun3/260 168 vs 336). It is a function of CPU on chip cache size.
-[ 10-Jan-97 and a function of an incorrect speed testing program in
- ufc which gave much better test figures that reality ].
-
-It is worth noting that on sparc and Alpha CPUs, performance of the DES
-library can vary by upto %10 due to the positioning of files after application
-linkage.
