RSAREF
Don't use RSAREF
I recommend not using RSAREF in any new development. First, no one is
maintaining the library. Second, the prime reason to use it, the RSA
patent, has expired. Third, it does not include AES or SHA-2, which I
see as a fatal flaw in a modern library. If you're interested in the
code, ask your favorite search engine; all the links below are broken.
