A Laravel package to handle database encryption. In the current state of this project, only symmetric encryption is possible.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Make sure you have [libsodium](https://download.libsodium.org/doc/installation/index.html) installed.

Via Composer

Add the following to your `composer.json` file:

```
"garethnic/laracrypt": "dev-master"

```

Add the garethnic\\ServiceProvider to your config/app.php providers array:

```
garethnic\laracrypt\LaraCryptServiceProvider::class,
```

Then do:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish
```

To copy the config file over. In this file you can specify where to store and load your key from.

```
'path' => storage_path('keys/encryption.key')
```

**For your database schema make sure the encrypted columns are of type `BLOB`.**

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You will first need to create your key:

```
$ php artisan laracrypt:key
```

This will generate a key and save it in `storage/keys`. You could also generate the key programmatically via the static `generateKey` method.

In the future more options will be added to make key storage more flexible.

There are multiple ways to go about encrypting/decrypting:

`AppServiceProvider`

```
// Encrypting all attributes
Post::saving(function ($post) {
    foreach($post['attributes'] as $key => $value) {
        $post->$key = LaraCrypt::encrypt($value);
    }
});

// Encrypting all attributes
Post::saving(function ($post) {
    $post->body = LaraCrypt::encrypt($post->body);
});
```

Or in your `Model` you could do:

```
public function setBodyAttribute($value)
{
    $this->attributes['title'] = LaraCrypt::encrypt($value);
}
```

Decrypting:

It's as simple as `LaraCrypt::decrypt($text)`.

In your `Model`:

```
public function getBodyAttribute($value)
{
    return LaraCrypt::decrypt($value);
}
```
