PHP API Key Generator

问题:

Does anyone know of any API key generator script/class for PHP? The class should have method generate, that would generate a key and isValid() method, to check if the key is valid.

回答1:

There are multiple ways to generate API keys. I've used following 3 methods depending on the applications,

  1. Base62(random). Generate a large secure random number and Base-62 encode it. The key looks like "w5vt2bjzf8ryp63t". This is good for self-provisioned system. You don't have to worry about collision and inappropriate keys. You have to check database to know if the key is valid.

  2. Base62(MD5-HMAC(key, Normalize(referer))). This works great if the API is only allowed from one site. Just check the HMAC of the normalized referer and you know if the key is valid, no database access. You need to keep the HMAC key secret to do this.

  3. Human assigned friendly names like "example.com". This works great if API users are required to own a domain or they are your corporate partners.

Please keep in mind that there is no security in API keys. It's just a name assigned to your API application. More and more people are using terms like "App ID" or "Dev ID" to reflect what it really is. You have to assign another secret key if you want secure your protocol, like consumer_key/consumer_secret in OAuth.



回答2:

just use something like this (pseudo code) sha1(salt + time + mac-addr + another salt + some other random data) crc32 or md5 would also work inestead of sha1 and store it in a database and then isValid() checks the db if the key exists?



回答3:

Here is my simple answer to this question:

$key = implode('-', str_split(substr(strtolower(md5(microtime().rand(1000, 9999))), 0, 30), 6));


回答4:

Well as it has been mentioned, it is all dependant on the situation. One method that I needed to use was to authenticate a referer url with a specifically assigned API key. So with the API key all that was really needed was (pseudo) key = md5(referer url + name + salt) which you then can have a checksum for. I know it has been mentioned similar to this before, but it is just that way. As for the isValid() function, all you need to do with this is compare it against the checksum and URL.

Edit: Just realised the age of the original question :S



回答5:

Depending on what you want, you can also use something like 3scale to create keys and manage access to the API. It generates keys, but also tracks rate limits, analytics etc. and allows devs on the API to create new keys.

There's a PHP library as one of the connectors: https://support.3scale.net/reference/libraries

This is an old question, but i stumbled about the same problem yesterday, and found this class which is RFC4122 compliant:

回答7:

See uniqid:

string uniqid ([ string $prefix = "" [, bool $more_entropy = false ]] )


回答8:

You can just use md5(uniqid()) and divide it into parts or format in other preferable way.



回答9:

GUID would work but is not cryptographically secure.

Server answers use md5 or sha1 hashing methods on microtime() or mt_rand.

Hashing a uniqid, uuid or timestamp would not necessarily create unique results! Actually hashing increases the chance of collisions so I would strongly advise against this.
