[Cryptography Team] RE: working postgres client?

[Ron Teitelbaum]

Hi Gary,

I'm not really interested in calling native functions, but I am interested
in getting plugins developed.  We have a plugin for SHA1 and for
(SecureHashAlgroithm) DES (3DES).  Which works well for 3DES-SHA1 SSL.

The most important plugins for me would be SHA256, Rijndael (AES), and MD5.

So far nobody in the Cryptography Team has had the time to get it done.  Any
volunteers are definitely welcome!!
