I too would like to see an open discussion on this. Microsoft uses this for their new Exchange Server client/server email product.... ---------- From: Jonathon Fletcher[SMTP:jonathon@japan.sbi.com] Sent: Friday, March 01, 1996 10:17 AM To: cypherpunks@toad.com Subject: Nortel "Entrust" Can anyone tell me anything about a product called "Entrust", by Nortel (Northern Telecom). The notes talk about the software using DES ("which employs a 56-bit key") so I guess it's single DES, not triple DES. It also mentions a proprietary algorithm called CAST. Is this worthy of further investigation, or is it suspect ? What is CAST, and would it be classed as snake oil ?
