No, and there is not much chance that it ever will, since (a) such items can
not be freely distributed due to US law; (b) various components may be
proprietary or patented; and (c) the size and complexity of the code would
preclude its inclusion in a DOS program that must fit in 640K and still
leave room for shelling out to DOS and running other programs in the same
space.
We are, however, planning to include Kerberos IV and Kerberos V
authentication *and* encryption in the next release Kermit 95. Watch this
space for announcements.
