+1.1 23/08/96 - eay
+ Changed RC2_set_key() so it now takes another argument. Many
+ thanks to Peter Gutmann <pgut01@cs.auckland.ac.nz> for the
+ clarification and origional specification of RC2. BSAFE uses
+ this last parameter, 'bits'. It the key is 128 bits, BSAFE
+ also sets this parameter to 128. The old behaviour can be
+ duplicated by setting this parameter to 1024.
+
+1.0 08/04/96 - eay
+ First version of SSLeay with rc2. This has been written from the spec
+ posted sci.crypt. It is in this directory under rrc2.doc
+ I have no test values for any mode other than ecb, my wrappers for the
+ other modes should be ok since they are basically the same as
+ the ones taken from idea and des :-). I have implemented them as
+ little-endian operators.
+ While rc2 is included because it is used with SSL, I don't know how
+ far I trust it. It is about the same speed as IDEA and DES.
+ So if you are paranoid, used Tripple DES, else IDEA. If RC2
+ does get used more, perhaps more people will look for weaknesses in
+ it.
