One of my contracts had a major telephony client, and a colleague of mine used his own crypto algorithms. And it was so weak that nearly any primate could break it. We could have used DES because we did use DES for part of the project. But, anyone who knows what they are doing certainly would use a standard library implementation. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
