Reliance on mcrypt, which is removed in php7.2

[bryanjonker]

We upgraded to php 7.2, and it looks like mcrypt is removed. This causes the error "Call to undefined function mcrypt_module_get_supported_key_sizes()".

We moved back to php 7.1, but we'd like to stay as current as possible due to security patches, etc. Can we switch to another encryption package, or at least opt into another option via a config file? Thanks.

We have made some upgrades to encryption in response to the mcrypt deprivation. I think they are only in the dev branch. @zhangster needs to give more info. We need some instructions, etc.

I posted about this on the egoweb message board: http://www.qualintitative.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4

Any news on this? Thanks.
