LaraFileEncrypter is a Laravel package, designed to enhance file security in your applications. With a straightforward integration, it enables you to easily implement AES-256 encryption. What sets LaraFileEncrypter apart is its unique approach: delivering maximum security without the need for key storage. Now, securing your files becomes a straightforward process, ensuring data confidentiality without added complexity.

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

LaraFileEncrypter simplifies file security by eliminating the need to manage encryption keys. Instead, the process relies on the use of a user-chosen password.

When encrypting a file, LaraFileEncrypter generates an encryption key based on the provided password. It's this key, derived from the password, that is used to secure your files using the AES-256 algorithm.

This approach removes the necessity of storing or managing separate encryption keys. By choosing a robust password, you ensure effective protection of your files without the complexity associated with traditional key management.

Pros and cons
-------------

[](#pros-and-cons)

ProsConsNo key storageLoss of password leads to unrecoverable fileEach user can encrypt their files with a unique passwordAES keys potentially less robust than truly random methodsNo modifications needed on the files infrastructure or database sidePotentially predictable keysConvinced ? 🙂

If you find this project useful, please consider giving it a star⭐. It helps me prioritize and focus on keeping project up-to-date. Thank you for your support!

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require mrdebug/lara-file-encrypter`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package provides a facade called `LaraFileEncrypter`.

### Encrypt a file

[](#encrypt-a-file)

The `encryptFile` method `public function encryptFile(string $filePath, string $rawPassword)` locates a file and replaces its existing content with his encrypted content using the provided password. The password must be provided in raw text.

Example :

```
LaraFileEncrypter::encryptFile(
  storage_path('app/files/secret-file.pdf'),
  'mysecurerawpassword'
);
```

You can add a salt :

```
LaraFileEncrypter::encryptFile(
  storage_path('app/files/secret-file.pdf'),
  'mysecurerawpassword'.$salt
);
```

### Decrypt a file

[](#decrypt-a-file)

The `LaraFileEncrypter` facade provides two methods for decrypting a file. One method streamDownload (`decryptAndStreamDownloadFile()`) the file, while the other decrypts the file's content (`decryptContentFile()`).

```
public function decryptAndStreamDownloadFile(string $filePath, string $rawPassword)
```

and

```
public function decryptContentFile(string $filePath, string $rawPassword)
```

Examples :

```
LaraFileEncrypter::decryptAndStreamDownloadFile(
  storage_path('app/files/secret-file.pdf'),
  'mysecurerawpassword'
);
```

and

```
LaraFileEncrypter::decryptContentFile(
  storage_path('app/files/secret-file.pdf'),
  'mysecurerawpassword'
);
```

You must, of course, provide the same password as used in the encryption step.
