Quoting from the description of the "rsaref" package:
: RSAREF is a cryptographic toolkit developed by RSA Data Security Inc. It
: implements the core of an RSA public key cryptography system. RSADSI holds
: the patent to the RSA algorithm, and thus this library is the only
: implementation that is legal to use in the US.
International versions of programs using RSA encryption generally do not use
RSAREF. This is a patent issue, not an import/export law issue though.
