Thanks Vladimir.
So md5 is available in SUNWperl584core package. Some questions I have.
If I want to port two other encryption routines along with crypt-cbc, Is 
there anything I need to follow other than OSR ?
What kind of naming convention I should follow while registering package 
name ? Should these packages also be prefixed with SUNW ?
Which C-Team will be reviewing this ?
To which consolidation does these kind of encryption packages come under ?
Or let me know whom(/alias) can I contact to find these answers. This 
info I will need when I register the package.

Thanks
Spoorthy
