Hi,

Does openssl support export level cipher suites? I was looking
at 0.9.5a version of openssl and I could not locate any function
which does the 40 bit DES. 

Can someone please explain how the 56 bit DES key is transformed to 
40 bit in SSL? All I could find in the code was, keys in key material 
was hashed with randoms for export level cipher suites but there is 
no mention of how to derive the 40 bit key, does some part need to be 
masked? 

As far as I can see in the code, same cipher init function is called
for both normal and export level cipher suite. I seemed to be
missing something in code.

Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated..

Thanks,
Nagaraj
