## Decrypting data with a single key.

### decrypt1.c

    /**
     * XML Security Library example: Decrypting an encrypted file using a single key.
     *
     * Decrypts encrypted XML file using a single DES key from a binary file
     *
     * Usage:
     *      ./decrypt1 <xml-enc> <des-key-file>
     *
     * Example:
     *      ./decrypt1 encrypt1-res.xml deskey.bin
     *      ./decrypt1 encrypt2-res.xml deskey.bin
     *
