Asymmetric authenticated file encryption/decryption

[Yanick Witschi]

First of all: Thank you so much for investing so much time and effort in making the PHP world a safer place <3

This is probably just a rather stupid question but the library implements both, anonymous and authenticated asymmetric encryption . However, I could not see support for it in the File helper. It does seem to support "only" anonymous asymmetric encryption.
Is this on purpose or is it just missing?

The fact that the library otherwise seems so complete just made me a bit unsure about things now :D

Correct, it only supports anonymous asymmetric encryption. The underlying encryption is IND-CCA2 secure, but the sender identity isn't authenticated.

Its omission was definitely not intentional. We'll consider adding it in Halite 5.

Thanks for the reassuring and quick reply!

This is already included in the v5 dev branch #176
