I take it you want something that will run on a PC.  I have seen (and
have a copy of) a public domain public key system called PKCRYPT for
the PC.  I'm not sure about it though:  It uses the RSA scheme which
I seem to remember is under copyright (wasn't there a big discussion
about this?).  If there is some way around the copyright, then I have
a bunch of "large number" arithmetic routines that could be thrown
together for a public key system fairly quickly.  They are written
in C.
