Just a slight correction: my understanding is that to use these
algorithms in the US, you must use RSAREF, get an appropriate license
from RSA (generally by purchasing one of their crypto products or by
getting special approval), or be the US government.  So RSAREF is not
the only option, but it is the most common option for non-commercial
software.
