Powered by AkoBook V3.42 + hashcash 1.0 Know Bugs: - the CryptoStrategy factory sometimes return MD5 instead of the right cryptographic algorithm (waht a mess PHP4). As a result, If you Want to use SHA1, You will have to overwrite these lines in CryptoStrategy::encrypt($string) $this->logger->debug("Default encrypt: ".$string." with MD5");
return md5($string); It is still here and I do not know why...
