[PHP-DEV] Design question From: Derick Rethans (d.rethans <email protected>)

Hi folks,

working on the rewrite of the mcrypt module I stumbled acros the
following problem:
The key size must exactly match the key size needed by the module (or
else mcrypt will crash).
So when a user tries a key size of 5 and a key size of 8 is needed there
are two possibilities:
1) return an error that the key size is too small or
2) pad the key with the 0 byte.

This also is a problem with the IV.

Your thoughts please?
