Google has just introduced a new open source cryptography utility called KeyCzar.

The toolkit provides “encryption and authentication for both symmetric and public-key algorithms,” explains Google’s Steve Weis. KeyCzar offers the ability to rotate keys without having to change the code itself — something Weis hopes can eliminate common problems in cryptography.

The software is now available at Google Code. More information is already posted in the new KeyCzar discussion group.

    I'd like to see some movement on this, in terms of plugin development for platforms like Wordpress and Joomla.
