OK

WRONG, have a look at the div class. Extension is only enabled in 
TYPO3_MODE=BE if rsauath is enabled.

You can use Blowfish. Look at the Extension Settings.
For all other stuff, ask the people maintining linux libcrypt.c :) PHP 
implements/includes it. So we are always as safe as our unix login 
encryption class provides us the routines or mechanism.

Since glibc 2.7 the crypt function is enabled to make SHA-256 and 
SHA-512. Will be short hand since the php function will integrate it.
