In preparation for writing extensions to Kerberos, I'm attempting to work
out which DES libraries work with each other and on different platforms.
The first problem I've come across is that DES's operation is endian dependant,
so that compiling the same code (which is ignorant of byte order) on intel box
(ie pc) and a Sun sparc will not decrypt/encrypt correctly.
The next I've found is that there seems to be some problem getting various
DES libraries to encrypt/decrypt what the other has output. Notably, I've
tried using the MIT DES libraries supplied with Kerberos vs "libdes" which
is otherwise freely available on the net.
Does anyone else have any experience on doing similar tests ?
