Hi,

I've written implementations of DES (package crypto/des) and TDEA, aka
Triple DES, (package crypto/tdea) for Go. Would this be a kosher/
desirable addition? If so, I'll submit a CL for it.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
that's funny, I implemented the same thing :)
Maybe we should compare notes.

I am assuming it was a deliberate choice not to include it in the
standard lib, though.

Sure. I'd be inclined to put them both in crypto/des though.
The only reason to have DES is so you can do it three times.
See http://golang.org/doc/contribute.html if you haven't already.
