We can provide the crypt package (framework) and "allowed" algorithms directly with pear and other Cipher-classes externaly. There are also problems if you use algorithms wich must be licensed. see also http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/docs/README.nonfree bye, -- ------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Michael Bretterklieber - Michael.Bretterklieber@jawa.at JAWA Management Software GmbH - http://www.jawa.at Liebenauer Hauptstr. 200 -------------- privat --------------- A-8041 GRAZ GSM: ++43-(0)676-93 96 698 Tel: ++43-(0)316-403274-12 E-mail: michael@bretterklieber.com Fax: ++43-(0)316-403274-10 http://www.bretterklieber.com ------------------------------- ------------------------------------- "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972On Sun Feb 16, 2003 at 02:3956AM -0600, Tim Thorpe wrote:The same applies for cvs.php.net, which runs on the same box, btw.Something that we all need to be aware of as we implement encryption algorithms is the rather unfriendly policies of the US regarding strong crypto exports. I don't know where the PEAR CVS server is located, but if it's in the USA then crypto packages that implement "strong" algorithms will need to be hosted offshore.pear.php.net is located at Pair Networks in the USA (east coast, iirc).
