10The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a
11cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation.

26Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by
27A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various
28encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules are not distributed with
