Hi folks, has anyone...
 
 1. considered using DSA (without patent restrictions or royalties) as an

<<<<

I use a Nyberg/Rueppel derivative of DSA called q-NEW in my Puffer program
with Diffie-Hellman for key exchange. q-NEW doesn't require an inverse
calculation so I didn't have to bother coding an extended Euclidean routine.

q-NEW signature:
  r=(g^k mod p) mod q
  s=k-rmx mod q
verification:
  r=((g^s)(y^rm) mod p) mod q
