Laravel Sodium
==============

[](#laravel-sodium)

[![phpunit](https://github.com/smakecloud/laravel-sodium/actions/workflows/phpunit.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/smakecloud/laravel-sodium/actions/workflows/phpunit.yml)[![phpstan](https://github.com/smakecloud/laravel-sodium/actions/workflows/phpstan.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/smakecloud/laravel-sodium/actions/workflows/phpstan.yml)

Uses [PHP's Sodium](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.sodium.php) extension to encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify data.

> **Note**Package name was chosen for discoverability. It is not affiliated with Laravel.

Supported encryption ciphers are:

- [XCha-Cha20-Poly1305](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sodium-crypto-aead-xchacha20poly1305-ietf-encrypt.php)
- [AES-256-GCM](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sodium-crypto-aead-aes256gcm-encrypt.php)

Supported signing algorithms are:

- [Ed25519](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sodium-crypto-sign.php)

*Signing KeyPair is generated using `app.key` for [seeding](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sodium-crypto-sign-seed-keypair.php).*

> **Warning**This package overrides Laravel's Encrypter class!

You will lose support for the following ciphers:

- AES-128-CBC
- AES-256-CBC
- AES-128-GCM
