/******************************************************************************
  desex.c, an example of how to use the openssl DES implementation... Data
  is input on stdin, and the enrypted information is output to stdout. Prompts
  appear on stderr...

  This is an example of the Electronic Code Book mode, which is predictable
  for known input, and is not recommended.
