note 69553 added to ref.mcrypt

Most of the ciphers here are badly broken, and there are a few cases where the manual says things that are outright incorrect, such as that it's "safe to transmit the initialization vector in plaintext" (this is incorrect: see Ciphers By Ritter for details. http://www.ciphersbyritter.com/GLOSSARY.HTM#IV ) For a *safe* PHP mcrypt wrapper, see Stone PHP SafeCrypt. http://blog.sc.tri-bit.com/archives/101 ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 75.28.3.231 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69553 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69553 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69553 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
