Those are SCEP implementations, but not necessarily of the RFC.  Don't forget
it's been around for twenty years, but only in the last few has it moved past
single DES and MD5.  In particular the OpenSCEP page has a date of 2001, the
OpenXPKI implementation doesn't look like it supports the RFC unless it's
pretty well hidden, and SSCEP looks equally old.
