I'll work on splitting the classes down further for better abstraction, any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bretterklieber [mailto:mbretter@jawa.at] Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 6:19 AM To: pear-dev@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] Encryption issues Hi, Martin Jansen wrote: > On Sun Feb 16, 2003 at 11:2506AM +0100, Martin Jansen wrote: > >>On Sun Feb 16, 2003 at 02:3956AM -0600, Tim Thorpe wrote: >> >>>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.

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 1972 -- PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
