Well, you could just grab a copy of RSAREF and put a MOO wrapper
around it... should be trivial; if you are interested in even simpler
encryption like DES or 3DES, you can get source code for it just about
anywhere on the net and just write the MOO wrappers... however, there
is always the stupid U.S. export restrictions...

(Hmmm, maybe yet another good reason for loadable MOOdules...)
