For the openssl smime encrypted format, you have either base64 or binary. Default is base64 (PEM). Some reply already posted says that you should use the smime encrypt. That's the best method. If you test it with the command line tool "openssl smime -encrypt/-decrypt..." you will see it more clearly, but you have to get well involved in key pairs creation, certificate authority, CSR, signing certs and keeping track of all issued certs. On the other hand, PHP has many algorithms to encrypt and decrypt that don't require a cert. I've used those, called symetric encryption, but for real security, asymetric (public/private keys and certs) is best. What you mention about the Textarea has nothing to do. If you grab the $_POST['field'] and encrypt all that, and later you decrypt it, you will obtain the exact original data. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PHP-Open-SSL-tp24465525p24560828.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
