Research direction

Start by reviewing the dependency configuration and the existing crypto usage; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Evaluate phpseclib as the proposed pure-PHP alternative to ext-openssl. Done means the OpenSSL extension dependency is removed and the library's XML security behavior remains supported without it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As per dev-discussion;

Ideally we'd drop the dependency on ext-openssl and switch to a pure PHP solution for our crypto-stuff. A valid candidate for this would be; https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib
