[google-appengine] PGP Encryption with PHP on App Engine

[Kyaw Naing]

Hi,

My application is using PHP's gnupg extension. AppEngine doesn't seem to
have that
library. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/php/runtime#enabled_extensions

Please advise.

Thanks,
Kyaw

Hello Kyaw,

Why do you need this extension? Encryption of at least equal level is
already provided within App Engine. A feature request needs the support of
a well-motivated use case to prove its point and convince. How do you plan
to use the extension? A detailed u se-case, preferably in step-by-step
format, should prove of great help to Engineering, for feature evaluation
and eventual implementation.

It may be worthwhile mentioning here that the OpenPGP standard is
implemented in the Cloud Platform, so the need for another extension with
similar functionality is less stringent. In this context, you may have a
look at the "Encryption in Transit in Google Cloud" page
