Apparantly David it came from the SIPB at MIT and more specifically as
part of security/encryption studies as far as I have been able to glance
from the files both locally and at MIT.
They oughtta be shot/hanged or whatnot for the lack of commentary in the
sourcecode... Man, it makes one wonder whether or not they get a curriculum
about lack of documenting =)
Apparantly the libss is also used a lot for a project called Zephyr at MIT.
And what I gather from the (sparse) docs libss and libet are replacements
for athena.
Hope this is of some help...
