``More generic'' is an interesting term, indeed.

It's the stupidity of some of your politicians, ya'know.  Anyway, go
and lookup the `des' distribution.  It ships with libdescrypt which is
probably what you want.

(Of course, the stupidity on that matter is that everybody has this
library, since it's widely and legally available outside US, too.  But
some people still think it's illegal to ship it across the US border
from your side to mine.)
