Hi All I am sorry if this has been asked before... I have searched the internals list and also many of the other php lists but couldnt find any conclusive answer.
The question is, are there any plans to include integrated encryption routines in the php core? At the moment the optional mcrypt library is needed and this is often not installed so a fall back is needed were the routines are written in pure php. Since the mcrypt library is released under the GPL and php under the php 3.0 licence I guess the option to integrate the solutions isnt available so the other option would be for php to include their own encryption routines. Is this planned or is this even an option? Also as you can imagine trying to do asymmetrical encryption in pure php isnt very efficient so if the above is planned would it at the same time be possible to include so kind of asymmetrical routine such as diffie-hellman or the like? Many thanks for any response. Regards Mark -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
