There are really only two points being made on that (very short) thread:

1. That PHP is not as a language handicapped for encryption (but the article doesn't claim that it is).

2. That doing public key encryption in PHP sound like a bad idea.

I happen to agree with point (2), but the other thread doesn't resolve that argument, so we're not missing much.

It floated near the top of page two for a while then died off. I don't know that it ever landed on the front page for any appreciable length of time.
