From the website: Mhash is a free (under GNU Lesser GPL) library which provides a uniform interface to a large number of hash algorithms. These algorithms can be used to compute checksums, message digests, and other signatures. The HMAC support implements the basics for message authentication, following RFC 2104. In the later versions some key generation algorithms, which use hash algorithms, have been added. At the time of writing this, the library supports the algorithms: SHA1, GOST, HAVAL, MD5, RIPEMD160, TIGER, and CRC32 checksums. mhash is pretty useful for generating password hashes, especially in PHP, which has no hash support built in. Weee, my second ebuild.. Please check syntax. -ceed
Created attachment 59 [details] mhash-0.8.9.ebuild just tried it with PHP, which works fine. will do mcrypt now and then add a php "bug" depending on these two :)
added to app-crypt
