The GNU C library already provides a one-way function based on MD5 and
for compatibility with Unix systems the standard one-way function based
on the Data Encryption Standard.
The GNU C library provides a one-way function that is compatible with
the behavior of the @code{crypt} function introduced in FreeBSD 2.0.
It supports two one-way algorithms: one based on the MD5
message-digest algorithm that is compatible with modern BSD systems,
and the other based on the Data Encryption Standard (DES) that is
compatible with Unix systems.
It also provides support for Secure RPC, and some library functions that
can be used to perform normal DES encryption.
