The DES algorithm is compatable.
How that is chained may not be. I've not looked into that part.
Specifically, I've not looked into the exact what and why of the
change Crypt::CBC made between 1.20 and the current revisions,
nor why OpenSSL made similar changes.
That said, an earlier post to one of the OpenSRS lists mentions that
the 1.9.7 code had one or more non-obvious issues in how things were
encoded prior to encryption. Ie, even if you get the excryption to
exactly match what Crypt::CBC 1.20 and Crypt::DES are doing, you
still have to be careful to get your code to interact with the
OpenSRS server(s).
But the new version (tomorrow!) might change that...
