Problems with RSAREF/RIPEM: 1. Use of RSAREF/RIPEM in support of a commercial enterprise is prohibited without paying a licence fee. Note that they can get you on copyright violations rather than patent infringement if you break the RSAREF licence agreement.
For those of you looking around for a good cypherpunk-style project, a rewrite of RSAREF with an identical interface (external and some of the internal) would be a good idea. Such a body of code would prevent RSADSI from using copyright as leverage against a non-US company or person. Eric
