MCrypt is a replacement for the old crypt package and crypt command with
|
|
extensions. It allows developers to use a wide range of encryption functions
|
|
including encrypting files or data streams without having to be cryptographers.
|
|
|
|
The companion to MCrypt is libmcrypt, which contains the actual encryption
|
|
functions themselves and provides a standardized mechanism for accessing them.
|
|
|
|
mcrypt and libmcrypt packages are recommended if you are using phpmyadmin for
|
|
database administration.
|
|
|
|
To actually use mcrypt, you would have to recompile php with the following
|
|
config switch: "--with-mcrypt=shared,/usr/bin"
