Package for encrypting and decrypting model attributes for Laravel using openssl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#package-for-encrypting-and-decrypting-model-attributes-for-laravel-using-openssl)

Key Features
------------

[](#key-features)

- Encrypt, Decrypt database fields easily
- Minimal configuration
- Include searching encrypted data using the following: `whereEncrypted` and `orWhereEncrypted`
- uses openssl for encrypting and decrypting fields

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Laravel: &gt;= 5
- PHP: &gt;= 7.3

Schema Requirements
-------------------

[](#schema-requirements)

Encrypted values are usually longer than plain text values, sometimes much longer. You may find that the column widths in your database tables need to be altered to store the encrypted values generated by this package.

We highly recommend to alter your column types to `TEXT` or `LONGTEXT`

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

[](#installation)

### Step 1: Composer

[](#step-1-composer)

Via Composer command line:

```
$ composer require quantumwebco/laravel-db-encryption
```

### Step 2: Add ServiceProvider to your app/config.php file (Laravel 5.4 or below)

[](#step-2-add-serviceprovider-to-your-appconfigphp-file-laravel-54-or-below)

Add the service provider to the providers array in the config/app.php config file as follows:

```
    'providers' => [
        ...
        \Quantumweb\DBEncryption\Providers\DBEncryptionServiceProvider::class,
    ],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the `EncryptedAttribute` trait in any Eloquent model that you wish to apply encryption to and define a `protected $encrypted` array containing a list of the attributes to encrypt.

For example:

```

    use Quantumweb\DBEncryption\Traits\EncryptedAttributes;

    class User extends Eloquent {
        use EncryptedAttributes;

        /**
         * The attributes that should be encrypted on save.
         *
         * @var array
         */
        protected $encryptable = [
            'first_name', 'last_name'
        ];
    }
```

By including the `EncryptedAttribute` trait, the `setAttribute()`, `getAttribute()` and `getAttributeFromArray()`methods provided by Eloquent are overridden to include an additional step.

### Searching Encrypted Fields Example:

[](#searching-encrypted-fields-example)

Searching encrypted field can be done by calling the `whereEncrypted` and `orWhereEncrypted` functions similar to laravel eloquent `where` and `orWhere`.

```
    namespace App\Http\Controllers;

    use App\User;
    class UsersController extends Controller {
        public function index(Request $request)
        {
            $user = User::whereEncrypted('first_name','john')
                        ->orWhereEncrypted('last_name','!=','Doe')->firstOrFail();

            return $user;
        }
    }
```

### Encrypt your current data

[](#encrypt-your-current-data)

If you have current data in your database you can encrypt it with the: `php artisan encryptable:encryptModel 'App\User'` command.

Additionally you can decrypt it using the: `php artisan encryptable:decryptModel 'App\User'` command.

Note: You must implement first the `Encryptable` trait and set `$encryptable` attributes

### Exists and Unique Validation Rules

[](#exists-and-unique-validation-rules)

If you are using exists and unique rules with encrypted values replace it with exists\_encrypted and unique\_encrypted

```
$validator = validator(['email'=>'foo@bar.com'], ['email'=>'exists_encrypted:users,email']);
$validator = validator(['email'=>'foo@bar.com'], ['email'=>'unique_encrypted:users,email']);
```

Frequently Asked Question
-------------------------

[](#frequently-asked-question)

#### Can I search encrypted data?

[](#can-i-search-encrypted-data)

YES! You will able to search on attributes which are encrypted by this package because. If you need to search on data then use the `whereEncrypted` and `orWhereEncrypted` function:

```
    User::whereEncrypted('email','test@gmail.com')->orWhereEncrypted('email','test2@gmail.com')->firstOrFail();

```

It will automatically added on the eloquent once the model uses `EncryptedAttribute`

#### Can I encrypt all my `User` model data?

[](#can-i-encrypt-all-my-user-model-data)

Aside from IDs you can encrypt everything you wan't

For example: Logging-in on encrypted email

```
$user = User::whereEncrypted('email','test@gmail.com')->filter(function ($item) use ($request) {
        return Hash::check($password, $item->password);
    })->where('active',1)->first();

```
