Hello,

I've just sent out grades for HW#5.  If you did not receive a grade,
then that is most likely due to the fact that I did not receive your
submission.  Please contact me asap if that is the case.

I was surprised to find that despite the comments on the mailing list
only very few of you implemented a reasonable number of rounds of
encryption in the EVP_BytesToKey function.

Other than that, most of you got most of the functionality right, but
some struggled obscuring the password when it was given on the
command-line, and several of you allowed the user (and anybody else who
might be shoulder-surfing) to see the password they typed in.  You
probably want to review those aspects and see the memset(3) and
getpass(3)/getpassphrase(3) functions.
