Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.
It appears to be binary data that has been base64 encoded. If you convert it [the binary data] to hex, you get a 32 bit string, which could just be pure coincidence, or it could be a sign that it is the result of some 32 bit one-way encryption algorithm.
