Hi
Anyone of you have any idea how can I crypt a message with DES algorithm, using a key which I have in clear text? It is easy to crypt using a system-generated key, but in my program I will use some clear-text keys

P.S. I use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and CryptoAPI

If you know another encrypt/decrypt engine (free), please give me a hint
 
I'm pretty sure that CryptoAPI does not allow the use of arbitary key data.

The closest that you can get is to use the CryptDeriveKey() function, which will generate a key by calculating the hash of a password or other data.

Sorry, I don't know of any other free encryption engines.
