Informations about the package cakephp-cipher-behavior
CipherBehavior plugin for CakePHP
Cipher your entities data magically with CakePHP Security class and this behavior.
Installation

The easy way to install composer packages is:
After that you should load the plugin in your app editing config/bootstrap.php:
Usage
You can add this behavior to a table to encrypt/decrypt your entities data while saving/retrieving them from DB. To use it you should define binary columns in your table schema to store encrypted data.
Table schema example for storing encrypted credit cards:
Following the example, to use the behavior with this table:
Behavior configuration
Configuration allows to specify what fields are managed by the behavior and configure encryption key/salt.
- fields (required): array of fields to be managed by the behavior. Keys are column names and values are column types registered
in
Cake\Database\Type. See CakePHP Book - DataTypes to view core CakePHP types. - key (required/optional): you can specify a key to be used by Security class to encrypt/decrypt data as part of behavior config.
- salt (required/optional): you can specify a salt to be used by Security class to encrypt/decrypt data as part of behavior config.
key and salt can also be set globally using two configuration keys: App.Encrypt.key and App.Encrypt.salt.
Example:
To get a good pair of key and salt, you could use Wordpress key/salt generator, Random Key Generator or allow your cat/dog/insert your pet here to play with your keyboard a minute...
Implementation notes
The ciphering is done with beforeSave and beforeFind events, using CakePHP Security class encrypt / decrypt methods
and Cake\Database\Type to convert data from and to DB to the right types. Type columns use is needed because all data is stored
and ciphered in DB in binary format. So before/after encrypt/decrypt casting types is needed.
Important: Current tests only covers string, integer and date column types.
