Please let me know if TRIPLE DES is regulated by the same rules than the others criptography systems in USA. We want to use it here in National Autonomous University of Mexico, so we don't want to get jailed.

I don't know about Mexican law. US persons are not supposed to export it without government permission, but that's not very relevant. Mexican law may or may not restrict import or use of crypto; better check with someone local. (I haven't heard anything saying that it _does_ restrict it - I just don't know either way.)

In case we can use it somebody knows where can i get the source code ??

That part's easy - DES source is available on ftp.ox.ac.uk, and also on ftp.dsi.unimi.it and ftp.funet.fi. There may be specific triple-DES code there, but if not, triple DES is just Encrypt(Key1, Decrypt(Key2, Encrypt(Key3, Message))) so you can easily write a subroutine to do that. #-- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com, +1-415-442-2215 pager 408-787-1281 1995: Chat rooms, espresso, and Linux 1996: Exon, melatonin, and Java.
