I am glad that you like the API.
The extension is currently useful just for hashing, symmetric cryptography,
random bytes and base64 coding. It means that it's more an alternative for
mcrypt than openssl in the current form. :) There is no support for certs
handling yet.
However I would like to wrap almost all parts of OpenSSL including the
certs. I want to provide a nice user space API and keep the internal code
structured and clean with minimum code duplication. That's probably the
hardest part and takes lots of my time. I would appreciate any help though.
Any ideas or patches are more than welcomed. I work on the stream support
at the moment (see https://github.com/bukka/php-crypto/issues/8
) and also
need to sort the error handling out (
https://github.com/bukka/php-crypto/issues/9
). Feel free to comment the
issues if you have any ideas or create a new issue for other feature ideas.
;) The latest commits are on the next branch if you want to see the latest
changes. ( https://github.com/bukka/php-crypto/tree/next

P.S. sorry for a little hijack of this thread... ;)
Thanks
