Usage

A basic usage example of the modCipher service class:

    /* get the modCipher service class as $modx->cipher */
    $modx->getService('cipher', 'modx.cipher.modCipher', MODX_CORE_PATH . 'components/modcipher/model/');
    
    /* get descriptor handle for the tripledes algorithm in OFB mode */
    $modx->cipher->open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES, MCRYPT_MODE_OFB);
    
    /* generate a random initialization vector (for Windows before 5.3, use MCRYPT_RANDOM) */
    $modx->cipher->config['iv'] = $modx->cipher->generateIV(MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM);
    
    /* generate a super-secret key for use in the ciphering */
    $modx->cipher->config['key'] = $modx->cipher->generateKey('food and beer!');
    
    /* encrypt a string */
    $encrypted = $modx->cipher->encrypt("Food or beer? That is the question!");
    
    /* decrypt the string you encrypted */
    $decrypted = $modx->cipher->decrypt($encrypted);
