Re: [ANN] Lua 5.2.0 (work5) now available

hi,

Not sure if it is a good idea to do encryption in pure Lua - of course

you CAN do it, but IMHO it is better to "leave it to the experts" and
use existing cryptography libraries, like OpenSSL (which even come with
cryptography hardware support). It is available in Lua through luacrypto
(http://github.com/mkottman/luacrypto - my fork which enables
cryptography routines)

I will certainly give it a try, especially if it supports RSA's crypt/decrypt.
