Simple compact encrypter

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require tigr/compact-encrypter

```

Why?
----

[](#why)

It provides very concise encrypted URL-safe data. For instance, it could be used to create self-contained tokens that would contain all the necessary information inside.

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

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

1. No intermediate base64 or hex encoding, all data is raw binary.
2. No JSON, use pack()/unpack().
3. Use URL-safe version of base64 (drop trailing '=', replace '/+' with '-\_').
4. For hashing, use SHA1 instead of SHA256. I know, I know, but for real-world purposes SHA1 is still good enough.
5. Allow dropping Mac (validation hash) whatsoever if you want it really short.
