Block ciphers in squeak

I'm in the process of trying to cruft up a portable secure terminal
for system administration tasks. I'm working with Squeak since it
pretty much runs the same no matter which platform I'm working with.
Before I bend my back to the task of implementing a block cipher such
as Square or Blowfish, I though I'd ask if anyone knows of existing
work on this topic. All I found after a protracted session with Deja-
News was an article by Smith suggesting implementation in assembler
or C, but this defeats the goal of portability.
I've already hacked up a PK algorithm that takes about 0.9 sec with
a 1024 bit composite on a 133MHz Pentium using Piumarta's 1.23 Squeak.
Thus, all I'm seeking is a sound block cipher and perhaps a hash.
Regards,
