I guess on one or the other way, future extensions and the core will use encryption
in more places (may it be symmetric or asymmetric).

So I'll welcome the idea of adding crypto-wrappers around mcrypt, but it should be
able to extend, hook into this t3lib, so mcrypt could get replaced by other crypto
libs.


AFAIK there is already some work in progress to transfer BE-login password, etc.
over the web using an asymmetrich encryption, accomplished by JS on the client side
and PHP (mcrypt) on the server side.
