Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70439&edit=1 ID: 70439 Updated by: bukka@php.net Reported by: bukka@php.net Summary: Deprecate default method for openssl_seal and openssl_open -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: OpenSSL related Operating System: any PHP Version: Next Minor Version -Assigned To: +Assigned To: bukka Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-09-06 17:27:58] bukka@php.net Description: ------------ The default method for openssl_seal and openssl_open is RC4 which is a weak cipher. For that reason, user should always choose a cipher algorithm (method parameter) explicitly. The request is to deprecate calling openssl_seal and openssl_open without and method argument (deprecate error message will be printed if the user doesn't supply a method parameter). The method parameter will be then made required in the next major version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70439&edit=1
