Native AES extension. > 2. If [1] not present, fallback to load extension for loading C code. > 3. If [2] not present, fallback to PHP code. Nope. I was planning to use only PHP code because Mcrypt extension is not compiled by default in common PHP distributions. If that is not possible (for lack of those algorithms in PEAR), then I'll go for Mcrypt extension, clearly stating that it is needed for this class to work. Use of Inline_C would be a nice alternative, but, as George Schlossnagle pointed out, it isn't a safe one... Regards, Lorenzo PS: Christian... any news? Can I help you with algorithm porting? --- [Quipo ISP - Questa E-mail e' stata controllata dal programma Declude Virus] [Quipo ISP - This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
