Well, there have been lots of bug fixes and some new features. For the
record, changes are listed in the ChangeLog files packaged with Maxima.
I tried the code linked from the paper [1] and I didn't try everything
but at least rsa_encrypt and rsa_decrypt seem to work as expected.
The only thing that needs to be changed is that any path such as
"/root/hysteria.txt" has to be changed to the path on your system.
Hope this helps,
Robert Dodier
