Help Design a New Cryptography API for PHP 7.1

TL;DR, make this part of PHP 7.1: $cipher = new Php\Crypto\Symmetric([ 'driver' => 'openssl' ]); $key = $cipher->deriveKey( $someUserProvidedPasswordString, $someHardCodedSalt ); $encrypted = $cipher->encrypt($message, $key); I'm developing a userland prototype in PHP here, so hopefully anyone can join in even if you're not fluent in C: https://github.com/paragonie/pco_prototype Once we're happy with how the API functions, and what the default/allowed parameters will be for each driver, we can start writing the PHP extension and move forward with the RFC to merge it. Here's an overview of the project: * The API (what we're discussing) * The drivers (we don't develop these) * Libsodium * OpenSSL * Room to grow in case we need to adopt for a post-quantum cryptography library Scott Arciszewski Chief Development Officer Paragon Initiative Enterprises <https://paragonie.com>
