                        Revised March 25, 1994

WHAT IS IT?

The name "RSAREF" means "RSA reference." RSA Laboratories intends
RSAREF to serve as a portable, educational, reference implementation
of cryptography.

RSAREF supports the following algorithms:

     o    RSA encryption and key generation, as defined by RSA
          Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS)

     o    MD2 and MD5 message digests

     o    DES (Data Encryption Standard) in cipher-block chaining mode

     o    Diffie-Hellman key agreement

     o    DESX, RSA Data Security's efficient, secure DES enhancement

     o    Triple-DES, for added security with three DES operations

Version 2.0 offers three other improvements over RSAREF 1.0: the
ability to process messages of arbitrary length in parts; the option
to process either binary data, or data encoded in printable ASCII;
and support for encrypting messages for more than one recipient.

RSAREF is written in the C programming language as a library that can
be called from an application program. A simple Internet Privacy-
Enhanced Mail (PEM) implementation can be built directly on top of
RSAREF, together with message parsing and formatting routines and
certificate-management routines. RSAREF is distributed with a
demonstration program that shows how one might build such an
implementation.


WHAT YOU CAN (AND CANNOT) DO WITH RSAREF

The RSAREF license agreement gives legal terms and conditions. Here's
the layman's interpretation, for information only and with no legal
weight:

     1.   You can use RSAREF for any purpose, as long as you follow
          the interface described in the RSAREF documentation. You
          can't sell RSAREF or provide a service of any type, where
          you charge in any way. You can use RSAREF in a commercial
          facility.

          For information on commercial licenses of RSAREF-compatible
          products, please contact RSA Data Security. (Special
          arrangements are available for educational institutions and
          non-profit organizations.)

     2.   You can give others RSAREF and programs that interface to
          RSAREF, under the same terms and conditions as your RSAREF
          license.

     3.   You can modify RSAREF as required to port it to other
          operating systems and compilers, or to improve its
          performance, as long as you give a copy of the results to
          RSA Laboratories. Other changes require written consent.

     4.   You can't send RSAREF outside the United States or Canada, or
          give it to anyone who is not a U.S. or Canadian citizen and
          doesn't have a U.S. "green card." (These are U.S. State and
          Commerce Department requirements, because RSA and DES are
          export-controlled technologies.)


HOW TO GET IT

To obtain RSAREF, read the RSAREF license agreement and return a copy
of the following paragraph by electronic mail to
<[e-mail]>:

     I acknowledge that I have read the RSAREF Program License
     Agreement and understand and agree to be bound by its terms and
     conditions, including without limitation its restrictions on
     foreign reshipment of the Program and information related to the
     Program. The electronic mail address to which I am requesting
     that the program be transmitted is located in the United States
     of America or Canada and I am a United States citizen, a Canadian
     citizen, or a permanent resident of the United States. The RSAREF
     Program License Agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement
     between RSA Laboratories and me relating to the Program, and
     supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and
     any other communications between RSA Laboratories and me relating
     to the Program.

RSAREF is distributed by electronic mail in UNIX(TM) "uuencoded",
compressed TAR format. When you receive it, store the contents of the
message in a file, and run your operating system's "uudecode",
"uncompress" and TAR programs.  For example, suppose you store the
contents of your message in the file 'contents'. You would run the
commands:

     uudecode contents             # produces rsaref.tar.Z
     uncompress rsaref.tar.Z       # produces rsaref.tar
     tar xvf rsaref.tar

You can also get a "uuencoded" PKZIP(TM) version of RSAREF. Just ask
for the ZIP file when you return the acknowledgment.

RSAREF includes about 60 files organized into the following
subdirectories:

     doc       documentation
     install   makefiles for various operating systems
     rdemo     demonstration programs and test scripts
     source    source code and include files

RSAREF is also available via anonymous FTP to 'rsa.com'. Along with
RSAREF you can get RIPEM, Mark Riordan's RSAREF-based privacy-enhanced
mail application, and an Emacs command interface to RIPEM. See the
file 'README' in the FTP directory 'rsaref' for more information.

AUTHORS

RSAREF is written and maintained by RSA Laboratories with assistance
from RSA Data Security's software engineers. The DES code was written
by Richard Outerbridge, with help from Phil Karn and Dan Hoey. Jim
Hwang of Stanford wrote parts of the arithmetic code under contract
to RSA Laboratories.
