Encryptor creates an extra layer of security for your applications data. The encrypted data won't be readable on database level. Requires -------- [](#requires) Laravel version 8.12 or higher. ### Installation [](#installation) - Step 1: Install package via composer. ``` composer require flexflux/encryptor ``` - Step 2: Add the EncryptorServiceProvider to your providers list in `config/app.php`. ``` \FlexFlux\Encryptor\EncryptorServiceProvider::class, ``` - Step 3: Add the Encryptable trait to your models you want to encrypt. ``` use FlexFlux\Encryptor\Encryptable; use Encryptable; ``` - Step 4: Define which attributes you want to encrypt by adding them to your encryptable array inside the model. ``` protected $encryptable = [ 'name' ]; ``` - Step 5: Make sure the attributes have the data type `text` inside your database. The encrypted data stored in the attribute can be longer then 255 characters. #### PLEASE DO NOT encrypt passwords or e-mailaddresses used for authentication. The authentication won't work if you do this. [](#please-do-not-encrypt-passwords-or-e-mailaddresses-used-for-authentication-the-authentication-wont-work-if-you-do-this) ### Encrypt your production database [](#encrypt-your-production-database) #### Requirements: [](#requirements) - All your models needs to be inside the `app\Models` folder of your Laravel project. - You did all the installation steps above. - You changed the data type of your encryptable attributes to text without compromising data. #### To use Encryptor on an application already deployed to production we need to do the following steps on your production application: [](#to-use-encryptor-on-an-application-already-deployed-to-production-we-need-to-do-the-following-steps-on-your-production-application) - Step 0: Make sure you've made a backup of your database to restore in case anything goes wrong. Make sure you backup your APP\_KEY in your `.env` file too. - Step 1: First, make sure your application is not used by entering the following command inside your project folder: `php artisan down`. This will put your application offline for your users. - Step 2: Remove (or comment) the Encryptable trait `use Encryptable;` in each model you added this to. Add the `FlexFlux\Encryptor\EncryptThis` trait from Encryptor instead by adding `use EncryptThis`. Make sure you still have the `protected $encryptable = []` array inside your model with the attributes you want to encrypt. We're going to use this variable. (You can also do this in a commit and push it to your production server or something like that) - Step 3: Next, we run the following command: `php artisan encryptor:encrypt` inside your project folder. The command should now run through your Laravel models and encrypt each attribute on every row you wanted to encrypt. - Step 4: Enable the `Encryptable` trait again on every model and remove the `EncryptThis` trait. (You can also do this in a commit and push it to your production server or something like that) - Step 5: Put your application back online by entering the following command: `php artisan up` and your good to go! Your old and new database records are now encrypted at rest. ### Work in progress [](#work-in-progress) - I'm planning to make it possible to search on encrypted attributes. ### DISCLAIMER [](#disclaimer) Please backup your APP\_KEY from your production environment file. This key is used to encrypt and decrypt your data. Once you lost it, the data can never be decrypted. ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 47% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity56 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
