"That turns out not to be the case." The version of CNS that we have doesn't have any encryption beyond DES. 4.4BSD telnet is basically identical to kerberosV telnet, and the only encryption it has is DES.
The 4.4 telnet is NOT identical. Its much better code, has lots of neat new capabilities that you probably want, is more modular, and the versions I saw had hooks for D-H and the like, which is where most of the work is -- you can get the D-H code from RSAREF and steal the IDEA code from PGP; from there the changes are small. And yes, I assumed that you didn't have an encrypted telnet at all. It would not have been a stupid assumption to make because this request occurs on Cypherpunks at four month intervals. Perry
