note 41754 added to ref.mcrypt

Issue 03.2004 of International PHP Magazine: http://phpmag.net/itr/ausgaben/psecom,id,194,nodeid,112.html has an exensive article on using mcrypt with PHP. Here is the synopsis: This article will define two-way key cryptography and explain how it differs from other well known PHP functions, like md5 and rot13, and when it is appropriate to use one-way hashing or two-way encryption. Then we will step through installing mcrypt as a dynamically loadable extension. We will explore two applications: encrypting cookies, and encrypting database information (such as credit card numbers). The article will point out some of the security implications of creating an encryption/decryption scheme in a plain text scripting language, and offer solutions such as encoding, source-compiling commands, and authoring new extensions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41754 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41754&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41754&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
