The mcrypt library is fairly complete wrt available cryptographic algorithms, and we have Ruby/MCrypt written by Hans-Dieter Stich at http://www.rubylinks.de/ . (However, it seems that the wrapper only functions properly in ECB mode. This behavior seems to differ from the author's intent, as the small test program included in the distribution tests CFB and CBC as well, but those tests fail.) Has anyone implemented any strong crypto algorithms in native Ruby to measure performance feasibility? Brian -- Brian Smyth smythb@alleg.edu || http://aries.etree.org/~hamal/
