This branch is for use with CakePHP 5.0+. Use branch "main-cake4" to use with CakePHP 4.0+ Install ------- [](#install) Install it as require dependency: ``` composer require joacir/CakeAes ``` Setup ----- [](#setup) Enable the plugin in your Application.php or call ``` bin/cake plugin load CakeAes ``` Configure a new security hash in *app\_local.php*: ``` 'Security' => [ 'key' => '34601affc03a12d4b963b6123ab3afcb', ], ``` - This will be the key used by the plugin for encryption. - NEVER use the same key for different apps. - Once generated, NEVER change the key. - The key must contain at least 32 digits in hexadecimal. Change the type field of the fields you want to encrypt on your tables to a binary type: ``` char(20) -> blob vachar(200) -> varbinary(200) text -> blob ``` - Only *string* types works. Use only *VarBinary* or *Blob* types. Load the behavior on your table *initialize()* method: ``` $this->addBehavior('CakeAes.Encrypt', [ 'fields' => ['name', 'card', 'phone'] ]); ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### To encrypt fields [](#to-encrypt-fields) Nothing is necessary, the EncryptBehavior do the encryption automatically when you set the *fields* in settings. ### To decrypt fields, conditions, order and contain [](#to-decrypt-fields-conditions-order-and-contain) The *find()* ou *get()* works without changes, in complex queries you can use *decryptField()* or *decryptString()*. ``` $new = $this->Temps->get($temp->id, ['fields' => [ 'id', 'name' => $this->Temps->decryptField('Temps.name') ]]); $temp = $this->Temps->find() ->select(['name' => $this->Temps->decryptField('Temps.name')]) ->where(['id' => 2]) ->first(); ``` You can use *decryptEq()* in *conditions*: ``` $temp = $this->Temps->find() ->select(['name' => $this->Temps->decryptField('Temps.name')]) ->where([$this->Temps->decryptEq('Temps.name', $name)]) ->first(); $temp = $this->Temps->find() ->select([ 'id', 'name' => $this->Temps->decryptField('Temps.name') ]) ->where([$this->Temps->decryptLike('Temps.name', '%Sa%')]) ->first(); ``` In *updateAll()* you can use *encrypt()* to encrypt: ``` $name = $this->Temps->encrypt("José"); $fields = ['name' => $name]; $conditions = [ $this->Temps->decryptEq('Temps.name', 'Maria') ]; $this->Temps->updateAll($fields, $conditions); ``` ### To encrypt/decrypt a file [](#to-encryptdecrypt-a-file) ``` $imageFile = dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'imagem.jpg'; $Temps->encryptFile($imageFile); $imageFile = dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'imagem_crypted.jpg'; $Temps->decryptFile($imageFile); ``` ### To decrypt a file in a controller [](#to-decrypt-a-file-in-a-controller) Load de Encrypt Component: ``` public function initialize(): void { $this->loadComponent('CakeAes.Encrypt'); } ``` To decrypt and render the content: ``` $imageFile = dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'imagem_encrypted.jpg'; return $this->Encrypt->decryptRender($imageFile); ``` To decrypt and download a file: ``` $imageFile = dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'imagem_encrypted.jpg'; return $this->Encrypt->decryptDownload($imageFile); ``` ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance62 Regular maintenance activity Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 75% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
