TL;DR, make this part of PHP 7.1:
$cipher = new Php\Crypto\Symmetric([
'driver' => 'openssl'
]);
$key = $cipher->deriveKey(
$someUserProvidedPasswordString,
$someHardCodedSalt
);
$encrypted = $cipher->encrypt($message, $key);
I'm developing a userland prototype in PHP here, so hopefully anyone
can join in even if you're not fluent in C:
https://github.com/paragonie/pco_prototype
Once we're happy with how the API functions, and what the
default/allowed parameters will be for each driver, we can start
writing the PHP extension and move forward with the RFC to merge it.
Here's an overview of the project:
* The API (what we're discussing)
* The drivers (we don't develop these)
* Libsodium
* OpenSSL
* Room to grow in case we need to adopt for a post-quantum
cryptography library
