I too need a solution for this, but I don't think mcrypt will work. Why? I need public key/private key encryption, as I don't want to risk leaving the key on the server.
>From what I understand by reading the mcrypt docs, you encrypt and decrypt with the same key, so if someone were to be able to read the script that does the crypting, they would be able to view (or find then view) the key. I've started to try to accomplish this with PGP, but am having trouble getting PHP to call PGP successfully. Anyway, is there any way to do public key/private key encryption with PHP?
