Cyphering on the NeXT

I've got a NeXTstation colour and am dabbling with the various tools that are
available for electronic encryption. As you may know, NeXT developed a Fast
Elliptical Encryption system (FEE) based on public key technology, but was
prohibited from exporting it due to US law; so the dropped the tool from
their NeXTmail system which was set for International distribution.
I have however found PGP recently (but can not get it to compile; I'm no
programmer so I'm just bumbling throug the code fixing what I can by trial
and error, not wise, I know), and a few other tools (kerberos)...
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who is using any form of
encryption on their NeXTs for electronic mail, how they implemented it, what
they see as alternatives and so on.
Ta,
Scott
