I always hate mentioning this 'cause I feel like an attention whore or
something, but nevertheless, I can't get the thing tested thouroughly
without a bit of whoring...
I've been working on a crypto extension for PHP for a while now, and since
you guys seem into the crypto thing, you might like to check it out. It's
not really meant to be a replacement for mcrypt/mhash or anything, just as
an alternative. (One advantage is that it works on Windows as well as UNIX,
and I believe the native, non-cygwin win32 port of libmcrypt/libmhash are
no longer maintained.)
Anyways, if you're at all interested, see
http://www.tutorbuddy.com/software/
It supports pretty much all of the algorithms mcrypt and mhash do, plus a
few more. (30-some block and stream ciphers, the usual block cipher modes,
and 17 hash/checksum algorithms altogether.)
Again, I hate the self-promotion, but as you all probably know, cryptography
is useless unless it's been tested, studied and proven to be effective.
