I'm looking for a Triple DES file encryption program that takes arguments in the same form as /bin/crypt or /usr/bin/des. Is there a /bin/3des out there somewhere? Has anyone come across 3des.c? And if so, can you point me in the direction where it may be found. Thanks..
If no such program exists, I think it would be very useful to the cypherpunks community if it were made available. I'd also like to see a
You could write one based on Richard Outerbridge's d3des. The essential routines are provided in the package, all you'd need to provide is the wrapper. d3des is the basis of what is currently used in RIPEM 1.1 I also used it in munge, which is an experimental encryption program I distributed a while back which encrypts with either IDEA or triple DES or a composition of the two in CFB mode. munge has an interface much like that of Unix "compress" (munge, unmunge, mcat &c.) I'd do things somewhat differently if I were going to redo it, but you can have it if you want it. Just don't ask me to maintain it or port it to anything else, as I don't want to put any more effort into it. There is significant ugliness in the code due to the fact that I was always maintaining backwards compatibility with previous versions. (if you want either munge or d3des, you can get by ftp it from either wimsey.bc.ca or ripem.msu.edu. Please don't export munge or anything from wimsey.bc.ca outside of the U.S. and Canada).
