Hi all,

http://framework.zend.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=35309

The Zend_Crypt proposal is now moved to the "Ready for Review" category and I 
am requesting comments from the community.

In short, the proposal aims to centralise a set of cryptographic algorithms 
implemented in PHP for use by other components or end users. The current 
proposal is mainly an opening proposal - an "open the flood gates" exercise. It 
initially includes two things: An implementation of HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for 
Message Authentication (RFC 2104) and the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method 
(RFC 2631).

Why these two? Because they are required algorithms which support the 
implementation of OpenID 2.0 Authentication which is currently proposed by 
Dmitry Stogov as Zend_OpenId. So starting with something that probably must be 
implemented somewhere at some point within the framework.

Since I'm also developing an OpenID implementation in PEAR, HMAC/DH are 
slightly modified variants of the recently passed PEAR proposals.

Best regards,
Paddy
