Encryption request

[Ramin Firoozye]

Hi guys,

I have a feature request for 2.0 having to do with encryption. I know you
guys are currently using Blowfish, but for some situations (for example, if
a client has standardized on a different mechanism), that may be limiting.

How about making it so the encryption algorithm is a 'plug-in' with a
default implementation of Blowfish. That way, we can choose whichever type
of encryption algorithm you want. You specify the interface or callback and
we'll take it from there.

Another nice feature for security reasons is an interface for calculating
MD5 hashes of individual tables/records/databases that can be used to
authenticate a database.

The absolute coolest would be if we could attach digital signatures to each
database. Again, I would make it so the specific algorithm can be a plug-in.

Just a thought,
Ramin
