I believe that twofish has been successfully broken, so use blowfish
instead. Typically, for encrypting files you will use an algorithm like
blowfish in cbc mode (as opposed to ebc mode) but I don't know if Mcrypt
supports this. Also, when creating the hash of the file, it is probably best
to use SHA-1 instead of MD5, as there appears to be some concern with MD5
over it's compression function.

It helps :)
I have been looking into Blowfish with cbc mode :)
If I use SHA-1 it's still no way to dehash it during decryption of the file,
so I fail to see the use of Hashing in fileencryption.
Could someone enlighten me?
