PHP Request Signer
==================

[](#php-request-signer)

`arthens/request-signer` is a PHP library to sign and validate requests.

The implementation is inspired by the [AWS Rest Authentication tutorial](http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/s3-developer-guide/RESTAuthentication.html).

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/08d330021c30d6a96e3cbc62aeef5bdd9d3b158c58726486070a608101391a67/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f61727468656e732f726571756573742d7369676e65722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/arthens/request-signer)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add `arthens/request-signer` to your `composer.json`.

You can also download `request-signer` directly, as it doesn't have any dependency.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// Use composer or import the class manually
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Create a new Signer
$signer = new \Arthens\RequestSigner\Signer('here-your-secret-key');

// Generate a new url-friendly signature
$signature = $signer->sign('GET', '/news');

// Verify a signature
if (!$signer->verify('here-the-signature-from-request', 'GET', '/news')) {
    throw new \Exception('Invalid signature');
}
```
