The xpk_Crypt.lha archive cannot be found on world wide Aminet servers,
because of American and France cryptography laws. So you have to get it
from German server in Paderborn (ftp.uni-paderborn.de). There it is in
/pub/aminet/util/crypt. If you are in one of the mentioned countries, it
may be illegal for you to download the archive!

You can get it also on my WWW pages
  http://gremlin.home.pages.de/xpkmaster.html
  http://www.amigaworld.com/support/xpkmaster/
but I do not know how long these pages will exist.

This archive covers ENCO, FEAL and IDEA including sources. Check the WWW
sub library page to get other encryption libraries.
 
Description
XPK is an interfacing standard between application programs and packer
libraries. All XPK application programs can apply any of the various XPK
compressors or encryptors to their data.

Distributability
XPK is copyrighted, but freely distributable for non-commercial use. Some
parts of XPK have a different legal status, ie. PD, GPL or shareware.

This part of the xpk distribution consists of the cryptographic
libraries. It may be illegal to export these libraries from the USA,
therefore they are in a seperate archive, which should not be made
internationally available from the USA. Encryption technology also cannot
be used in or imported into France without proper permissions (classified
as military weapons). We do not yet know of any restrictions to the import
or export of this archive from other countries.
