Feel free to not use it then.. geez.
No offence, but as you are a ZCE, this might lead people that that function is
useful and might actually use it. Notwithstanding the fact that it is an
extremely weak encryption, OP please note that it is pointless to be
encrypting/storing/decrypting data all on the same machine. And if the data
to be encrypted is anywhere near sensitive then using weak encryption is
worse than no encryption (no encryption doesn't waste CPU cycles and doesn't
give a false sense of security).
thank god for your input, for a minute I thought I was (being) a
complete moron. :-)
(no disrespect to Zend, but ZCE _sounds_ a lot like MSCE and everyone
knows what thats worth ;-) - just a but of humour guys!)
actually I only noticed the ZCE after I posted; I just thought it a good
idea to give the 'noobs' a heads up regarding the fact thatgetting
encryption (& security) right is hard (well I think it it anyway)!
