DES functions

The DES functions conform to the encryption interface required by the Kerberos version 5 library, and provide an encryption mechanism based on the DES Cipher-block chaining mode (CBC), with the addition of a cyclical redundancy check (CRC-32) for integrity checking upon decryption.

The functions have the same signatures as those described by the main library document; the names are: mit_des_encrypt_func mit_des_decrypt_func mit_des_process_key mit_des_finish_key mit_des_string_to_key mit_des_init_random_key mit_des_finish_random_key mit_des_random_key The krb5_cryptosystem_entry for this cryptosystem is mit_des_cryptosystem_entry.
