          I am trying to find a method for data encryption for data
          being sent from Macs and PCs to an HP UNIX server.  From
          what I have read, Kerberos uses the best encryption method.
          Thus, in the long run, I would like to implement Kerberos
          on our system.  Not knowing the length of time it would take
          to implement Kerberos, I am wondering if I should begin with
          a simplier? implementation of a DES algorithm (c code which
          could be compiled on a PC, Mac and the HP UNIX server).
          Therefore, I am looking for c code for encryption and
          decryption (with documentation) which uses a
          DES algorithm.  A DES algorithm might provide adequate
          security until Kerberos can be installed.  Do you have any
          suggestions?  Is the c code for the kerberos DES Encryption
          Library available?  My address is
          asmyth@warren.med.harvard.edu.  Thanks.
