A PHP library that gives a simple interface for encrypting and decrypting strings
The easiest way to install this library is via Composer.
Create a composer.json
file and enter the following:
{
"require": {
"coreproc/crypto-guard": "0.*"
}
}
If you haven't yet downloaded your composer file, you can do so by executing the following in your command line:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Once you've downloaded the composer.phar file, continue with your installation by running the following:
php composer.phar install
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Coreproc\CryptoGuard\CryptoGuard;
// This passphrase should be consistent and will be used as your key to encrypt/decrypt
// your string
$passphrase = 'whatever-you-want';
// Instantiate the CryptoGuard class
$cryptoGuard = new CryptoGuard($passphrase);
$stringToEncrypt = 'test';
// This will spit out the encrypted text
$encryptedText = $cryptoGuard->encrypt($stringToEncrypt);
// This should give you back the string you encrypted
echo $cryptoGuard->decrypt($encryptedText);
