[Rob Marscher]

I have used these functions before for encrypting/decrypting with
public/private key pairs:

openssl_get_privatekey()
openssl_get_publickey()
openssl_public_encrypt()
openssl_private_decrypt()

You need to have the openssl module enabled though (compile php using
--with-openssl in the configure arguments).

If this is something you are doing a lot, using a module is going to be
more efficient than php-based functions.
