#32917 [NEW]: Native support for encryption/hashing algorithms

From: brian_bisaillon at rogers dot com Operating system: BSD, Linux, Windows, UNIX PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Native support for encryption/hashing algorithms Description: ------------ Dear PHP Software Engineers, I would like you to consider adding native support for FIPS PUBS 140-2, 180-2, 186-2, 197 and 198. I want to be able to use encryption/hashing algorithms on data without having to implement a full PKI solution. To date, I have been using the mcrypt and mhash extensions to PHP but they are not very portable across multiple operating systems. For example, why do end users have to use Cygwin under Windows just to be able to run PHP applications that use mcrypt and mhash? The fact that end users have to use Cygwin under Windows just increases their learning curve. This fact has a negative impact on PHP applications. Anyway, I am hoping that PHP will get serious when it comes to natively supporting encryption/hashing algorithms that comply with FIPS approved standards/specifications.
