The naming of this component is wrong. It should be Zend_Pki_Certificate or Zend_Pki_Key or some such. The word "Crypt" should be reserved for a generic crypto class and "Rsa" is just one implementation of a symmetric algorithm. Also as long as I'm on a rampage, I will say I'm not a big fan of OO wrappers for the sake of OOP as if it is somehow inherently superior to just using an existing set of functions. What functional benefit does this API have over the builtin openssl API? Mike -- Michael B Allen PHP Active Directory SPNEGO SSO http://www.ioplex.com/
