IPSEC Implementation Availability Announcement
The NIST/NSA IPSEC implementation is now available for distribution.
The software is distributed on an "AS IS" basis. There is no implied
warranty on part of the US Government.
If you would like to obtain a copy, please notify me. I will fax our
release form. An appropriate representative from your company must
sign it, and return it to me. The form states that the software was
developed as a research project and is given to you "AS IS". Thus,
the software is not considered Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE)
or cannot be used as justification for a cost extension to any
US Government contract. You may re-distributed the software so long
as the ackownledgement and the software's notice appears.
The prototype contains DES CBC, MD5, and SHA source code. Department
of Commerce and State Department export control laws apply and hence
the prototype may only be distributed within the US.
