Mcrypt is a library used for encryption and decryption of data in PHP. It provides a variety of cryptographic algorithms, including symmetric ciphers such as AES, Blowfish, and DES, among others. Mcrypt allows developers to implement secure data storage and communication within their applications. However, it's important to note that Mcrypt has been deprecated as of PHP 7.1 and removed as of PHP 7.2.
