[TYPO3-dev] Symmetric encryption library for t3lib

[Marcus Krause]

Dears!


I'd like to attract your attention on a new RFC. (#12402) [1]

TYPO3 currently lacks of any encryption library. The RFC is about adding
one library that provides symmetric encryption to the t3lib directory.

At a later step, we could also add an additional asymmetric encryption
library.


I'd like to hear any comments and suggestions. Do you consider such
library an effort worth to be made? Is the current dependency on PHP
mcrypt extension valid for a t3lib library?

Thanks in advance.


Cheers,
Marcus.
