One thing to remember though is that RSA's technology (crypto, etc..) is proprietary. Though yes you can develop your own however, a strong knowledge (i say again "STRONG") in cryptography is essential. RSA is the leading provider of cyrpto-based solutions. Even its two-factor authentication technology is superb. It also takes quite a while to get used to how RSA got to synchronize/authenticate randomly generated numbers in its Key Fobs with the directory (Edirectory, Active Directory, LDAP). RSA leads in terms of AES, DES, two-factor authentication, SHA, MD5, Blowfish, and other encryption technology commercially. Even Novell licenses RSA's own AES and DES that was incorporated/integrated in Novell's NMAS and CASA technologies. Deep in the heart of SuSE, RSA encryption is hard at work.
According also to Bruce Schneier, "custom encryption, done loosely is like giving the key to your house to a thief."
