<p>The Encryption Library provides two-way data encryption. To do so in

|
|
a cryptographically secure way, it utilizes PHP extensions that are
|
|||
|
|
unfortunately not always available on all systems.
|

You must meet one of the following dependencies in order to use this
|
|||
|
|
library:</p>

<li><a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/openssl">OpenSSL</a></li>

|

|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If neither of the above dependencies is met, we simply cannot offer
|
|||
|

you a good enough implementation to meet the high standards required
|
|||
|

for proper cryptography.</p>

<p>By default, the Encryption Library will use the AES-128 cipher in CBC
|
|||
|
|
mode, using your configured <em>encryption_key</em> and SHA512 HMAC authentication.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|||
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p class="last">AES-128 is chosen both because it is proven to be strong and

|
|
because of its wide availability across different cryptographic
|

|
|
software and programming languages’ APIs.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>However, the <em>encryption_key</em> is not used as is.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If you are somewhat familiar with cryptography, you should already know
|
|||
|
|
that a HMAC also requires a secret key and using the same key for both
|
|||
|
|
encryption and authentication is a bad practice.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Because of that, two separate keys are derived from your already configured
|
|||
|
|
<em>encryption_key</em>: one for encryption and one for authentication. This is
|
|||
|
|
done via a technique called <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HKDF">HMAC-based Key Derivation Function</a> (HKDF).</p>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Setting your encryption_key</a><a class="headerlink" href="#setting-your-encryption-key" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>An <em>encryption key</em> is a piece of information that controls the
|
|||
|
|
cryptographic process and permits a plain-text string to be encrypted,
|
|||
|
|
and afterwards - decrypted. It is the secret “ingredient” in the whole
|
|||
|
|
process that allows you to be the only one who is able to decrypt data
|
|||
|
|
that you’ve decided to hide from the eyes of the public.
|
|||
|
|
After one key is used to encrypt data, that same key provides the <strong>only</strong>
|
|||
|
|
means to decrypt it, so not only must you chose one carefully, but you
|
|||
|
|
must not lose it or you will also lose access to the data.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>It must be noted that to ensure maximum security, such key <em>should</em> not
|
|||
|
|
only be as strong as possible, but also often changed. Such behavior
|
|||
|
|
however is rarely practical or possible to implement, and that is why
|
|||
|
|
CodeIgniter gives you the ability to configure a single key that is to be
|
|||
|
|
used (almost) every time.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>It goes without saying that you should guard your key carefully. Should
|
|||
|
|
someone gain access to your key, the data will be easily decrypted. If
|
|||
|
|
your server is not totally under your control it’s impossible to ensure
|
|||
|
|
key security so you may want to think carefully before using it for
|
|||
|
|
anything that requires high security, like storing credit card numbers.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Your encryption key <strong>must</strong> be as long as the encyption algorithm in use
|
|||
|
|
allows. For AES-128, that’s 128 bits or 16 bytes (charcters) long.
|
|||
|
|
You will find a table below that shows the supported key lengths of
|
|||
|
|
different ciphers.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The key should be as random as possible and it <strong>must not</strong> be a regular
|
|||
|
|
text string, nor the output of a hashing function, etc. In order to create
|
|||
|
|
a proper key, you must use the Encryption library’s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">create_key()</span></code> method</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1">// $key will be assigned a 16-byte (128-bit) random key</span>
|
|||
|
|
<span class="nv">$key</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">encryption</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">create_key</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">16</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
|||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The key can be either stored in your <em>application/config/config.php</em>, or
|
|||
|
|
you can design your own storage mechanism and pass the key dynamically
|
|||
|
|
when encrypting/decrypting.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>To save your key to your <em>application/config/config.php</em>, open the file
|
|||
|
|
and set:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$config</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'encryption_key'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'YOUR KEY'</span><span class="p">;</span>
|
|||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>You’ll notice that the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">create_key()</span></code> method outputs binary data, which
|
|||
|
|
is hard to deal with (i.e. a copy-paste may damage it), so you may use
|
|||
|
|
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bin2hex()</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hex2bin()</span></code> or Base64-encoding to work with the key in
|
|||
|
|
a more friendly manner. For example:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1">// Get a hex-encoded representation of the key:</span>
|
|||

|

|

<span class="c1">// Put the same value in your config with hex2bin(),</span>

<p>Because MCrypt and OpenSSL (also called drivers throughout this document)

each support different sets of encryption algorithms and often implement

them in different ways, our Encryption library is designed to use them in

a portable fashion, or in other words - it enables you to use them
|
|||
|
|
interchangeably, at least for the ciphers supported by both drivers.</p>
|

<p>It is also implemented in a way that aims to match the standard

implementations in other programming languages and libraries.</p>
|

<p>Here’s a list of the so called “portable” ciphers, where

“CodeIgniter name” is the string value that you’d have to pass to the

<p>It’s probably important for you to know that an encrypted string is usually
|
|||
|
|
longer than the original, plain-text string (depending on the cipher).</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This is influenced by the cipher algorithm itself, the IV prepended to the
|
|||
|
|
cipher-text and the HMAC authentication message that is also prepended.
|
|||
|
|
Furthermore, the encrypted message is also Base64-encoded so that it is safe

|
|
for storage and transmission, regardless of a possible character set in use.</p>

<p>Encrypting and decrypting data with the already configured library

<em>encryption_key</em> via HKDF, using the SHA-512 digest algorithm.</li>
|

<li>Generate a random initialization vector (IV).</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Encrypt the data via AES-128 in CBC mode (or another previously

configured cipher and mode), using the above-mentioned derived
|

|
encryption key and IV.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Prepend said IV to the resulting cipher-text.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Base64-encode the resulting string, so that it can be safely
|
|||
|
|
stored or transferred without worrying about character sets.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Create a SHA-512 HMAC authentication message using the derived
|
|||
|
|
HMAC key to ensure data integrity and prepend it to the Base64
|

|
string.</li>

<p>Let’s say you have to interact with another system that is out

of your control and uses another method to encrypt data. A

method that will most certainly not match the above-described

sequence and probably not use all of the steps either.</p>
|

<p>The Encryption library allows you to change how its encryption

<p>The reason for not including other popular algorithms, such as
|
|||
|
|
MD5 or SHA1 is that they are no longer considered secure enough
|
|||
|
|
and as such, we don’t want to encourage their usage.
|
|||
|
|
If you absolutely need to use them, it is easy to do so via PHP’s
|
|||
|
|
native <a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.hash-hmac.php">hash_hmac()</a> function.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Stronger algorithms of course will be added in the future as they

|
|
appear and become widely available.</p>

<p>Derives a key from another, presumably weaker key.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This method is used internally to derive an encryption and HMAC key
|
|||
|
|
from your configured <em>encryption_key</em>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>It is publicly available due to its otherwise general purpose. It is
|
|||
|
|
described in <a class="reference external" href="https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5869.txt">RFC 5869</a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>However, as opposed to the description in RFC 5869, this implementation
|
|||
|
|
doesn’t support SHA1.</p>
|
|||
|
