`iron-php` is a PHP implementation of the [Iron](https://github.com/hueniverse/iron)library. Iron generates encapsulated tokens suitable for embedding in cookies, query parameters, and HTTP headers.

```
$ composer require jsq/iron-php
```

**Please consult the Iron \[security considerations\] () before using this library.**

Differences from Iron
---------------------

[](#differences-from-iron)

`iron-php` supports the token format generated by **Iron 4.0**, with the following exceptions:

- The payload encryption cipher method is configurable but cannot be set to any GCM or CTR variant of AES. This is due to a PHP limitation that will be addressed in PHP 7.1.
- Separate encryption and signature passwords are not supported.
