A Code Encrypter for the Laravel Framework
==========================================

[](#a-code-encrypter-for-the-laravel-framework)

The goal of this open source package is **security *through* obscurity**.

It aims to offer an alternative to delivering your closed source projects in **plain text**. Instead, you can opt to deliver your files **encrypted**, alongside a binary PHP extension which will decrypt them on the fly.

This package uses symmetric encryption, which means that the key itself *has* to be embedded within the binary PHP extension. However, the code for the extension which holds the key and handles the decryption is open source (and is included within this package).

The key is generated by you and only known to you (as the developer). It can be unique per project and/or customer which opens up the possibility of additional functionality later down the line, such as setting expiry dates (for free trials) and/or whitelisting by IP/MAC address.
