All, I've checked in qooxdoo-contrib/Crypto/OpenPGP and added http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/contrib/openpgp
My use case is to encrypt a password and send it to the server for authentication. My application doesn't need SSL, and OpenPGP protects the password without SSL. Now I can add this feature to the application, and will add the details as an example. The package is called OpenPGP after the RFC 4880 standard. GnuPG is the Free Software Foundation implementation of OpenPGP, so the name GnuPG would not be correct for this package. On the server side, GnuPG is an available extension to PHP, and this package was tested with PHP. Encryption with 1024-bit keys (default for GnuPG) involves exact integer computation with 300+ decimal digit numbers. A useful implementation requires an efficient large integer library. This package is a port of http://www.hanewin.net/encrypt/ by Hanewinkel and http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/jsbn.js by Wu. Hanewinkel uses the GPL-licensed large integer library by Hanna. Wu's large integer library is BSD-licensed and replaces Hanna's in this package. I'm very interested in feedback, improvements, and next steps for this project.

Sure, that's the idea. All the crypto/encrypt/decrypt stuff that's not available in qooxdoo yet (or needs to be consolidated) could be developed as such a qooxdoo-contrib project, including additional documentation/info/links on the corresponding wiki page: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/contrib/contributions#crypto Lets make this a showcase collaboration project. ;-) Andreas PS: I added quite a few links to the page. Bill and others, you might want to check those resources and figure out any relevant input (e.g. "best" implementations) for the qooxdoo crypto package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
