Download the PHP package dolphiq/laravel-aescrypt without Composer

Eloquent Encryption/Decryption for Laravel 5

READ THIS FIRST

This package uses the Openssl AES ECB encrypth method with a key length of 128bit. The result is default compatible with the AES_ENCRYPT functions and can be reproduces by running the query:

With the AESCRYPT_BASE64_OUTPUT setting on true, the query will be:

The package uses a blank IV (just like Mysql) as default. The result hash is the same with the same input text under this conditions. This is less save than using a random IV and NOT recommended for use with data with many repetitions or higly secure data but give one big advantage: You can search the database rather fast for matching text (e.g. email address) without decrypting all records.

Note: 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 extended to store the encrypted values. The package stores the data as Raw hash by default this can be switched to in the .env file

If you are using the default encrypthion method, you should change your database columns to VARBINARY (length of 300 will be safe for former 256 varchar), If you turn on AES_BASE64_OUTPUT, you can use VARCHAR (length: +/- (original text + 13 + 16) * 1.3 or TEXT or LONGTEXT.

What Does This Do?

This encrypts and decrypts columns stored in database tables in Laravel applications transparently, by encrypting data as it is stored in the model attributes and decrypting data as it is recalled from the model attributes.

All data that is encrypted is prefixed with a tag (default __AESCRYPT__:) so that encrypted data can be easily identified.

This supports columns that store either encrypted or non-encrypted data to make migration easier. Data can be read from columns correctly regardless of whether it is encrypted or not but will be automatically encrypted when it is saved back into those columns.

Requirements and Recommendations

• Laravel 5.5 LTS (untested other versions)
• PHP > 7
• PHP openssl extension.
• A working OpenSSL implementation on your OS. OpenSSL comes pre-built with most Linux distributions and other forms of Unix such as *BSD. There may or may not be a working OpenSSL implementation on a Windows system depending on how your LA?P stack was built. I cannot offer support for installing or using ElocryptFive on systems that do not have an OpenSSL library.

Installation

This package can be installed via Composer by running following command:

Once composer has finished, then add the service provider in Laravel to the providers array in your application's config/app.php file:

In Lumen, you can add it to bootstrap/app.php file:

Configuration

Publish the config file with:

Than you have to add an encryption key.env config file:

Usage

Simply reference the Aescrypt trait in any Eloquent Model you wish to apply encryption to and define an $encrypts array containing a list of the attributes to encrypt.

For example:
