Yes. Bruce Schneier's book "Applied Cryptography" contains source code for a lot of different crypto algorithms. The book can be (and indeed is) freely exported from the US. The *diskette* containing the source code can *not* be exported (at least not so far - the case is continuing. See http://www.qualcomm.com/people/pkarn/export/index.html.)
