I did not do any comparison because I did not yet download the DES
plugin - just wanted to make this thing work in the unit tests before
going to bed :-) I just added a very thin layer (mostly converting from
ByteArrays to LargeIntegers and vice versa) to use my old code mostly
unchanged. The performance can probably be improved a bit by changing
that old code to directly work with ByteArrays.

No, but I will probably take this opportunity to work some more on that.
