Summary	0007142: Provide simple encryption functions?
Description	Currently, there is no decent way to encrypt and decrypt stuff - we don't have access to third party libraries (which is probably a good idea) - and implementing an algorithm in Lua is both extremely slow and somewhat infeasible due to the lack of bitwise operations etc. Since we've had access to MD5 and SHA1 for a long time, how about some AES or something similar? Finding a decent implementation is almost impossible in Lua, but should be a walk in the park for C++.
Tags	No tags attached.
