Hi, Could somebody point me to some of the software implementations of the cryptographic algorithms ( RSA , DES ,3DES ) .Actually, Iam interested in evaluating their performance on firewalls etc., so if there are sites, that contain their performance metrics/data and the time it takes to break them ( approximately , on an average m/c say sun ultra sparc ), please do mail me.Any help is welcome.

There are a lot of good crypto web and ftp sites. Look at ftp.ox.ac.uk and ftp.funet.fi . Look at Ron Rivest's pages (AltaVista knows where they are.) Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
