You're right but, since they are algorithms for digital signature I
have to keep a private key in somewhere. Using a crypt() like
function, such as fcrypt(), I don't have to store the plain password
anywhere. Using the fcrypt algorithm the encrypted password is
generated using salt wich is not a private key since it is stored as
is in the first two chars of the encrypted password. I think this is
correct but. If I'm wrong, I don't know how to use those MD4 and MD5
algorithms, they take three args. How do I use them?
Thanks for help!
