I have no intention of reinventing any wheels. I did a quick Google and saw the OpenSSL project among others. What I don't know is how portable they are. The ones I looked at so far don't say very much on their websites about architectures, int sizes, endianness, or other aspects of portability. I'd rather not have to decipher a dozen different implementations of an algorithm I don't understand in order to figure out which ones are better than what we've got. If anybody already knows of a suitable implementation, or knows of one that we should avoid, you may be able to save me some time. Scott McKellar
