This directory contains old Paradise RSA software.  The contents of this
directory should probably not be used.

Notes on RSA

RSA is a cryptography system used by Paradise; it features interlocking
keys to prevent ``borg'' clients from being played on Paradise servers.
As of the date of this writing (6/16/95) no Paradise servers have enabled
RSA verification (no verifiable ``borgs'' have been used).  However,
since the Paradise client can also be used on Bronco servers, RSA must
be implemented into the clients; for this reason, the RSA sources are
provided.

RSA cannot legally be exported outside the US and Canada, since it is
a cryptography system.  Please, if you are from outside the US or Canada,
do not ask me to give out the key to the RSA sources; I don't want the
NSA to come banging down my door at two in the morning to drag me off to
some small private cells they have for enemies of the state. ;)

Also provided in this directory is the GNU MP library.  This library is
a replacement for the normal MP library, and will cause RSA to work much
faster.  In general, GNU cc is required to build GNU MP.
