If you dig really deep for my name (probably not current email tho) and GPG in the PHP archvies, you'll find a long-running thread about using http://php.net/exec to run gpg WARNING: This exposes your data to 'ps' and 'top' and that ilk... Better to use http://php.net/popen once you've hammered out the "fun" parts... All the different crypts are using different algorithms -- that's rather the whole point of them all having different names and stuff. :-) I'm not sure any of them are similar enough to GPG to be useful, but I *think* you could use some of them to generate key-pairs not unlike GPG and then use them in a similar way to GPG... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
