 +=== Ticket encryption methods ===
 +
 +This component provides either DES or RSA encryption methods to encode/​decode tickets. Administrators must be aware of : 
 +
 +   * DES (AES) uses internal Mysql/Maria DB AES_ENCRYP/​AES_DECRYPT function that is not available (nor similar) in PostgreSQL.
 +   * RSA is a more compatible method based on openssl underlying layer. Moodle needs have MNET network enabled and a valid local keypair available. The key length should be of 2048 bytes to ensure the ticket payload has sufficiant length to hold the targer urls. Openssl functions claim about length restrictions of the input payload when using 1024 rsa key length. (See http://​php.net/​manual/​en/​function.openssl-private-encrypt.php for more information).
