1*0Sstevel@tonic-gate1.1 23/08/96 - eay
2*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	Changed RC2_set_key() so it now takes another argument.  Many
3*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	thanks to Peter Gutmann <pgut01@cs.auckland.ac.nz> for the
4*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	clarification and origional specification of RC2.  BSAFE uses
5*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	this last parameter, 'bits'.  It the key is 128 bits, BSAFE
6*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	also sets this parameter to 128.  The old behaviour can be
7*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	duplicated by setting this parameter to 1024.

9*0Sstevel@tonic-gate1.0 08/04/96 - eay
10*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	First version of SSLeay with rc2.  This has been written from the spec
11*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	posted sci.crypt.  It is in this directory under rrc2.doc
12*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	I have no test values for any mode other than ecb, my wrappers for the
13*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	other modes should be ok since they are basically the same as
14*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	the ones taken from idea and des :-).  I have implemented them as
15*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	little-endian operators.
16*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	While rc2 is included because it is used with SSL, I don't know how
17*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	far I trust it.  It is about the same speed as IDEA and DES.
18*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	So if you are paranoid, used Tripple DES, else IDEA.  If RC2
19*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	does get used more, perhaps more people will look for weaknesses in
20*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	it.
