With a large integer library available, it isn't too hard to implement some of the tried-and-true crypto primitives, which could then be used to digitally sign data, validate digital signatures, perform hashing, and perhaps perform encryption and decryption. It isn't hard to understand the demand for this in today's computing environment.

OK, I guess that makes sense. For ENVI, then.

Cheers,
