What was the decent OSS crypto in 1993? Early PGP is the only thing I can think of. SSLeay was not until the end of the clipper "conversation."

I used Matt Blaze's CFS around that time, for example.

Very cool: create a crypto volume anywhere in your filesystem, and mount it plaintext via the cfsd NFS service.

The NFS protocol served as a "poor man's portable FUSE".
