Feel free to fork and make your own changes if needed. Thanks to everyone for their valuable feedback and contributions. About ----- [](#about) PHP class for password hashing with multi encryption methods. Overview -------- [](#overview) ### The PBKDF2 key derivation function [](#the-pbkdf2-key-derivation-function) Defined by RSA's PKCS #5: This implementation of PBKDF2 was originally created by With improvements by ### The OpenBSD-style Blowfish-based bcrypt [](#the-openbsd-style-blowfish-based-bcrypt) This hashing method is known in PHP as CRYPT\_BLOWFISH. More infos : [http://www.php.net/security/crypt\_blowfish.php](http://www.php.net/security/crypt_blowfish.php) This implementation of BCRYPT was originally created by ### Generate random bytes [](#generate-random-bytes) A random() function is available to generate secure random bytes with 5 methods : - [mcrypt\_create\_iv](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-create-iv.php) - [openssl\_random\_pseudo\_bytes](http://php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-random-pseudo-bytes.php) - [GetRandom](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa388176%28VS.85%29.aspx) function from CAPICOM Microsoft class - [/dev/urandom](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/random) on Unix systems - Mix of [microtime](http://php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php) and [getmypid](http://php.net/manual/en/function.getmypid.php) functions ### Encrypt/Decrypt datas [](#encryptdecrypt-datas) There is also a method to encrypt/decrypt data using a symectric encryption string with the blowfish algorithm and an encryption key in CFB mode but please be advised that you should not use this method for truly sensitive data. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require crazy-max/cws-crypto ``` And download the code: ``` composer install # or update ``` Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) See `tests/test.php` file sample to help you. Example ------- [](#example) [![](.res/example.png)](.res/example.png) Methods ------- [](#methods) **hashPassword** - Create a password hash. **checkPassword** - Check a hash with the password given. **encrypt** - Generate a symectric encryption string with the blowfish algorithm and an encryption key in CFB mode. **decrypt** - Return the decrypted string generated from the encrypt method. **random** - Generate secure random bytes with 5 methods : mcrypt\_create\_iv, openssl\_random\_pseudo\_bytes, GetRandom() from CAPICOM Microsoft class, /dev/urandom on Unix systems or mt\_rand() and getmypid() functions. **setPbkdf2Mode** - Set the pbkdf2 mode for hashing/check password. **setBcryptMode** - Set the bcrypt mode for hashing/check password. (default) **setEncryptionKey** - Set the encryption key for encrypt/decrypt method (max length 56). **getError** - Get the last error.
