[](#usage)

### Hashing

[](#hashing)

The `Effectra\Security\Hash` class provides methods for hashing data using HMAC algorithms.

Example usage:

```
use Effectra\Security\Hash;

$data = 'Hello, World!';
$key = 'secret-key';

$hash = Hash::set($data, $key);
echo "Hashed value: " . $hash;
```

### Password Management

[](#password-management)

The `Effectra\Security\Hash` class also includes methods for securely managing passwords.

Example usage:

```
use Effectra\Security\Hash;

$password = 'password123';

$hashedPassword = Hash::setPassword($password);
echo "Hashed password: " . $hashedPassword;

$isPasswordValid = Hash::verifyPassword($password, $hashedPassword);
if ($isPasswordValid) {
    echo "Password is valid.";
} else {
    echo "Password is invalid.";
}
```

### CSRF Protection

[](#csrf-protection)

The `Effectra\Security\Csrf` class provides functionality for generating and validating CSRF tokens.

Example usage:

```
use Effectra\Security\Csrf;
use Effectra\Session\Session; // Replace with your own session implementation

// Initialize the CSRF class with a session instance
$session = new Session();
$csrf = new Csrf($session);

// Generate and insert a CSRF token in your HTML form
$html = '';
$html .= $csrf->insertHiddenToken();
$html .= '';
$html .= '';

echo $html;

// Validate the CSRF token on form submission
if ($csrf->validate()) {
    echo "CSRF token is valid.";
} else {
    echo "CSRF token is invalid.";
}
```

### Token Generation

[](#token-generation)

The `Effectra\Security\Token` class allows you to generate and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

Example usage:

```
use Effectra\Security\Token;

$data = ['user_id' => 123];

$config = (object) [
    'issued_at' => time(),
    'expirationTime' => time() + 3600, // Expiration time 1 hour from now
    'issuer' => 'example.com',
    'key' => 'your-secret-key'
];

$token = new Token();
$encodedToken = $token->set($data, $config);
echo "Encoded token: " . $encodedToken;

$decodedToken = $token->get($encodedToken, $config);
echo "Decoded token: ";
print_r($decodedToken);
```
