I'm vaguely familiar with many of these technologies, and have even used several of them. SHA1 is natively supported by PHP >= 4.3.0. BASE64 is natively supported by PHP
Such encodings don't really count.
As for RSA and DSA, I know that these key types are supported by OpenSSL. Is OpenSSL commonly supported in PHP?
I've checked my installs and they do support it. But they are custom builds.
I know that it's fairly easy to install, but I also realize that many users don't have control over what their server supports.
I suppose I'm doing a survey here to see if an OpenSSL requirement is beyond the scope of a Drupal core installation.
Is there any reason why it _has_ to be on core? Maybe you could re-use existing hooks and try some small patches in (if needed)? Cheers, Gerhard
