FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

PHP-Encryption - A PHP Class for Encryption and Decryption
PHP-Encryption is a class that provides SYMETRIC encryption and decryption functionality using the OpenSSL library. It uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in Cipher-Block Chaining (CBC) mode for secure data encryption.
Remember, keeping encryption keys secure and private are essential to maintaining data security. This excescise is left to the user application.
Features
- Ability to import encryption keys from a secured ".env" file or set by the application at run-time
- Strong encryption of the data using AES-256-CBC cipher
- Optionally calculate HMAC_HASH on originally-encrypted data
- Optionally combines the encrypted data and it's HMAC_HASH and encrypts it a second time sing KEY2
- Optionally will compare the originally encrypted data to it's HMAC_HASH to verify it was not tampered with
Installation
Install PHP-Encryption via Composer using the following command:
composer require ericledberg/PHP-Encryption
Alternatively, you can manually download and include the cksEncryption.php file in your PHP project.
Optionally, initialize .ENV keyfile:
- Locate Example.env in: Composer/vendor/php-encryption
- Copy example to: cp Example.env .env
- For production, generate new keys and update .env
- Update .env permissions to limit access
- sudo chown root .env
- sudo chgrp apache2 .env
- sudo chmod 440 .env
Example: Composer Using .ENV To Store Keys
Here's an example of how to use PHP-Encryption in your PHP code using composer.

Security Considerations
- Properly manage encryption keys and keep them confidential and protected from unauthorized access.
- Store encrypted data and encryption keys securely with appropriate access controls.
- Validate and sanitize input data to prevent potential security vulnerabilities.
- Regularly audit and review the implementation for security risks.
- Ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws and industry regulations, especially when handling sensitive data.
