Package description for 'libmcrypt'

A library for encryption. It can be built into PHP

 mcrypt is intended to be a replacement of the old unix
 crypt(1) under the GNU General Public License. Unix Crypt(1)
 was a popular(?)  file encryption program in unix boxes. It
 was based on the enigma encryption algorithm but it was
 considerable trivialized. Since this was not adequate, even
 for individual privacy needs, I decided to create a similar
 program using some modern block encryption algorithms. Mcrypt
 also has a compatibility mode with unix crypt(1) and with
 solaris des(1). It supports all the algorithms and modes
 found in libmcrypt and it is very extendable. At the time
 writing this, it supports the algorithms: BLOWFISH, TWOFISH,
 DES, TripleDES, 3-WAY, SAFER, LOKI97, GOST, RC2, MARS,
 RIJNDAEL, SERPENT, CAST, ARCFOUR and WAKE.  Block algorithms
 are implemented in modes: CFB, CBC, CTR, ECB, OFB (8 bit and
 n bit, where n is the size of the algorithm's block length).
