RE: [PHP] Mcrypt: Blowfish or Twofish or no fish?

Hi, I believe that twofish has been successfully broken, so use blowfish instead. Typically, for encrypting files you will use an algorithm like blowfish in cbc mode (as opposed to ebc mode) but I don't know if Mcrypt supports this. Also, when creating the hash of the file, it is probably best to

RE: [PHP] Mcrypt: Blowfish or Twofish or no fish? part 3

File hashing is used to take a hash of the clear text. In this way, you can append the hash to the encrypted text. When decrypting, you remove this hash, decrypt the rest of the file, hash this decrypted file and see if the two hashes match up. If they don't then an incorrect key was used with

calculate a hash of the pass the user enters and store that. When the user enters a pass again to get the data, then hash this pass and see if it matches the stored hash. If it does , then send the user the data. create a table that stores username, and hashed passwords for authentication. HTH

[PHP] byte order of integers

Hi! Is there any way of decomposing an integer into it's constituent bytes so that a new byte order can be created? tia JohnH John Horton Software Engineer BITbyBIT International Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: + 44 (0) 1865 865400 Fax: + 44 (0) 1865 865450 www.bitbybit.co.uk Disclaimer
