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
