Subject: PC sources
The last I worked on it, there was one set of DES library sources, with
sufficient conditional compilations defined such that it would work for
either the VAX, PC, or RT. The DES library is independent of the
rest of the Kerberos protocol library stuff, which I recall was NOT
updated to follow the revisions in the Kerberos protocol spec.
I also have some backup copies floating around if the need arises.
To check out the DES library on the PC (or elsewhere) there is a
test program called "verify" in with the sources. It runs some standard
tests of the algorithm, from the FIPS spec, and displays the computed
output as well as the expected output, which you then can inspect by eye
to determine if the library is obviously wrong.
All the PC stuff was built for the LCS cross-compiler and loader, not any
of the native PC utilities.
(P.s. the "not updated" above refers to the PC only. Should have used
the editor to compose this!).
( P.p.s. not updated also refers only to the Kerberos library, not the
DES library.)
