Re: Crypt_RSA

My thoughts: PEAR should adopt the Crypt_RSA class at phpseclib.sourceforge.net as Crypt_RSA2. If "[you] don't have time to [add new features] and [you] don't know RSA well enough" then your ability to fix all but the most superficial of bugs is suspect. Besides, the phpseclib Crypt_RSA package fulfills several open feature requests for the PEAR package that, by your admission, you'd be unwilling and unable to do.
