Octave includes the MD5 hashing algorithm and uses /dev/random if 
available in the core of Octave and there is an implementation of SHA1 
in the octave-forge package general.. These are about the only crypto 
like functions that I know of in Octave, MD5 and SHA1 are hashing 
unctions and not crypto at all
