Re: Compiling OpenSSL without 3DES

[Nicolas Roumiantzeff]

But for the French authorities you would have to prove taht DES is a group.

Beside, the 3-DES implementation used in SSL is not exactly a composition of
3 DES function (the initial and final seps of the DES algorithm are done
only once instead of 3 times).
