It is a "swiss army knife module" that is presently used in several released modules. If you are old enough to remember the "radio" show Captain Midnight, he had a magic decoder ring .... thus the name for the module. Module is currently used by several other released modules and contains special methods that use a combination of various hash/crypt/encode/decode methods implemented by "some" other modules. CapnMidNite contains some specialized methods that are not implemented elsewhere. All of the code is written in C to be compact and fast. > > > Implements various encrypt and decrypt methods > > which ones? should they each have their own module? No, they are inter-related. Some individual methods can already be found in other modules but are used withing CapnMidNite in a manner that would not be as efficient if the external modules were used instead.
