+.Dt DES 3
+.Os "FreeSec 1.0"
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm des
+.Nd Trapdoor encryption
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa salt
+introduces disorder in the
+.Tn DES
+algorithm in one of 16777216 or 4096 possible ways
+(ie. with 24 or 12 bits: if bit
+.Em i
+of the
+.Ar salt
+is set, then bits
+.Em i
+and
+.Em i+24
+are swapped in the
+.Tn DES
+E-box output).
+.Pp
+The DES key is used to encrypt a 64-bit constant using
+.Ar count
+iterations of
+.Tn DES .
+The value returned is a
+.Dv null Ns -terminated
+string, 20 or 13 bytes (plus null) in length, consisting of the
+.Ar salt
+followed by the encoded 64-bit encryption.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr crypt 3
+.Sh AVAILABILITY
+.Pp
+DES Crypt is only available if it has been added. It is not available
+by default.
+.Sh HISTORY
+A rotor-based
+.Fn crypt
+function appeared in
+.At v6 .
+The current style
+.Fn crypt
+first appeared in
+.At v7 .
+.Pp
+The DES section of the code (FreeSec 1.0) was developed outside the United
+States of America as an unencumbered replacement for the U.S.-only NetBSD
+libcrypt encryption library.
+Users should be aware that this code (and programs staticly linked with it)
+may not be exported from the U.S., although it apparently can be imported.
