You can't get the source without a V7 lisense, but here's a couple of
pointers.

The DES algorithm is clearly outlined (as a PASCAL program) in:
Computer Networks by Andrew S. Tanenbaum,
and a detailed description on the slightly different Unix algorithm is
described in AT&T Bell Labs Technical Journal V63 No.8 Part 2 "The Unix
System", in an article called "File Security and the UNIX system crypt
command".
