CakePHP Encrypt Decrypt
=======================

[](#cakephp-encrypt-decrypt)

A CakePHP library to encrypt and decrypt data.

### Features

[](#features)

- Encrypt data when saving and decrypt data when fetching data from database.
- Encrypt & decrypt historical data.

### Install

[](#install)

Via Composer

For CakePHP 5:

`composer require shakib/cakephp-encrypt-decrypt`

For CakePHP 4:

`composer require shakib/cakephp-encrypt-decrypt:~2.2`

For CakePHP 3.4 and above versions for CakePHP 3.x:

`composer require shakib/cakephp-encrypt-decrypt:~1.1`

For CakePHP <=3.3:

`composer require shakib/cakephp-encrypt-decrypt:1.0`

### Setup

[](#setup)

Add the type in `bootstrap.php`

```
TypeFactory::map('encrypted', 'EncryptDecrypt\Database\Type\EncryptType');
```

Add config value in `config\app.php`

```
'Security' => [
    'encryption_key' => env('ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'YOUR-KEY'),
]
```

### Uses

[](#uses)

Table structure: Use `BLOB \ VARBINARY` type for those columns you are want to be encrypted. Such as:

```
CREATE TABLE `accounts`(
    `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `full_name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    `account_number` VARBINARY(255) NOT NULL,
    `email` VARBINARY(255) NOT NULL,
    `created` DATETIME NOT NULL,
    `modified` DATETIME NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY(`id`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
```

Map all columns in your Table class.

```
use Cake\ORM\Table;
use Cake\Database\Schema\TableSchemaInterface;
use EncryptDecrypt\Traits\EncryptDecrypt;

class AccountsTable extends Table
{

   use EncryptDecrypt;

    public function initialize(array $config): void
    {

        parent::initialize($config);

        //... rest of initialization

      $this->getSchema()->setColumnType('account_number', 'encrypted');
      $this->getSchema()->setColumnType('email', 'encrypted');

    }
}
```

To encrypt or decrypt historical data, add this method in your table class and run

```
public function encryptDecryptAllData()
{
  // columns that are in plain text
  $sourceColumns = ['column1', 'column2'];
  // columns that need to be encrypted / decrypted
  $destinationColumns = ['column3', 'column4'];

  return $this->encryptAll($this, $sourceColumns, $destinationColumns);
}
```

To search any data, you can use search text in where clause

```
$query->where(['email' => 'test@domain.com', 'account_number' => 'xxxxxxxxx']);
}
```
