How do you Encrypt and Decrypt a PHP String?

2018-12-31 04:44发布

What I mean is:

Original String + Salt or Key --> Encrypted String
Encrypted String + Salt or Key --> Decrypted (Original String)

Maybe something like:

"hello world!" + "ABCD1234" --> Encrypt --> "2a2ffa8f13220befbe30819047e23b2c" (may be, for e.g)
"2a2ffa8f13220befbe30819047e23b2c" --> Decrypt with "ABCD1234" --> "hello world!"
  • In PHP, how can you do this?

Attempted to use Crypt_Blowfish, but it didn't work for me.

If you don't want to use library (which you should) then use something like this (PHP 7):

function sign($message, $key) {
    return hash_hmac('sha256', $message, $key) . $message;
}

function verify($bundle, $key) {
    return hash_equals(
      hash_hmac('sha256', mb_substr($bundle, 64, null, '8bit'), $key),
      mb_substr($bundle, 0, 64, '8bit')
    );
}

function getKey($password, $keysize = 16) {
    return hash_pbkdf2('sha256',$password,'some_token',100000,$keysize,true);
}

function encrypt($message, $password) {
    $iv = random_bytes(16);
    $key = getKey($password);
    $result = sign(openssl_encrypt($message,'aes-256-ctr',$key,OPENSSL_RAW_DATA,$iv), $key);
    return bin2hex($iv).bin2hex($result);
}

function decrypt($hash, $password) {
    $iv = hex2bin(substr($hash, 0, 32));
    $data = hex2bin(substr($hash, 32));
    $key = getKey($password);
    if (!verify($data, $key)) {
      return null;
    }
    return openssl_decrypt(mb_substr($data, 64, null, '8bit'),'aes-256-ctr',$key,OPENSSL_RAW_DATA,$iv);
}

$string_to_encrypt='John Smith';
$password='password';
$encrypted_string=encrypt($string_to_encrypt, $password);
$decrypted_string=decrypt($encrypted_string, $password);

I'm late to the party, but searching for the correct way to do it I came across this page it was one of the top Google search returns, so I will like to share my view on the problem, which I consider it to be up to date at the time of writing this post (beginning of 2017). From PHP 7.1.0 the mcrypt_decrypt and mcrypt_encrypt is going to be deprecated, so building future proof code should use openssl_encrypt and openssl_decrypt

You can do something like:

$string_to_encrypt="Test";
$password="password";
$encrypted_string=openssl_encrypt($string_to_encrypt,"AES-128-ECB",$password);
$decrypted_string=openssl_decrypt($encrypted_string,"AES-128-ECB",$password);

Important: This uses ECB mode, which isn't secure. If you want a simple solution without taking a crash course in cryptography engineering, don't write it yourself, just use a library.

You can use any other chipper methods as well, depending on your security need. To find out the available chipper methods please see the openssl_get_cipher_methods function.

For Laravel framework

If you are using Laravel framework then it's more easy to encrypt and decrypt with internal functions.

$string = 'Some text to be encrypted';
$encrypted = \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt::encrypt($string);
$decrypted_string = \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt::decrypt($encrypted);

var_dump($string);
var_dump($encrypted);
var_dump($decrypted_string);

Note: Be sure to set a 16, 24, or 32 character random string in the key option of the config/app.php file. Otherwise, encrypted values will not be secure.

What not to do

WARNING:
This answer uses ECB. ECB is not an encryption mode, it's only a building block. Using ECB as demonstrated in this answer does not actually encrypt the string securely. Do not use ECB in your code. See Scott's answer for a good solution.

I got it on myself. Actually i found some answer on google and just modified something. The result is completely insecure however.

<?php
define("ENCRYPTION_KEY", "!@#$%^&*");
$string = "This is the original data string!";

echo $encrypted = encrypt($string, ENCRYPTION_KEY);
echo "<br />";
echo $decrypted = decrypt($encrypted, ENCRYPTION_KEY);

/**
 * Returns an encrypted & utf8-encoded
 */
function encrypt($pure_string, $encryption_key) {
    $iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
    $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
    $encrypted_string = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, $encryption_key, utf8_encode($pure_string), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
    return $encrypted_string;
}

/**
 * Returns decrypted original string
 */
function decrypt($encrypted_string, $encryption_key) {
    $iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
    $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
    $decrypted_string = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, $encryption_key, $encrypted_string, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
    return $decrypted_string;
}
?>

Before you do anything further, seek to understand the difference between encryption and authentication, and why you probably want authenticated encryption rather than just encryption.

To implement authenticated encryption, you want to Encrypt then MAC. The order of encryption and authentication is very important! One of the existing answers to this question made this mistake; as do many cryptography libraries written in PHP.

You should avoid implementing your own cryptography, and instead use a secure library written by and reviewed by cryptography experts.

Update: PHP 7.2 now provides libsodium! For best security, update your systems to use PHP 7.2 or higher and only follow the libsodium advice in this answer.

Use libsodium if you have PECL access (or sodium_compat if you want libsodium without PECL); otherwise...
Use defuse/php-encryption; don't roll your own cryptography!

Both of the libraries linked above above make it easy and painless to implement authenticated encryption into your own libraries.

If you still want to write and deploy your own cryptography library, against the conventional wisdom of every cryptography expert on the Internet, these are the steps you would have to take.

Encryption:

  1. Encrypt using AES in CTR mode. You may also use GCM (which removes the need for a separate MAC). Additionally, ChaCha20 and Salsa20 (provided by libsodium) are stream ciphers and do not need special modes.
  2. Unless you chose GCM above, you should authenticate the ciphertext with HMAC-SHA-256 (or, for the stream ciphers, Poly1305 -- most libsodium APIs do this for you). The MAC should cover the IV as well as the ciphertext!

Decryption:

  1. Unless Poly1305 or GCM is used, recalculate the MAC of the ciphertext and compare it with the MAC that was sent using hash_equals(). If it fails, abort.
  2. Decrypt the message.

Other Design Considerations:

  1. Do not compress anything ever. Ciphertext is not compressible; compressing plaintext before encryption can lead to information leaks (e.g. CRIME and BREACH on TLS).
  2. Make sure you use mb_strlen() and mb_substr(), using the '8bit' character set mode to prevent mbstring.func_overload issues.
  3. IVs should be generating using a CSPRNG; If you're using mcrypt_create_iv(), DO NOT USE MCRYPT_RAND!
  4. Unless you're using an AEAD construct, ALWAYS encrypt then MAC!
  5. bin2hex(), base64_encode(), etc. may leak information about your encryption keys via cache timing. Avoid them if possible.

Even if you follow the advice given here, a lot can go wrong with cryptography. Always have a cryptography expert review your implementation. If you are not fortunate enough to be personal friends with a cryptography student at your local university, you can always try the Cryptography Stack Exchange forum for advice.

If you need a professional analysis of your implementation, you can always hire a reputable team of security consultants to review your PHP cryptography code (disclosure: my employer).

Important: When to Not Use Encryption

Don't encrypt passwords. You want to hash them instead, using one of these password-hashing algorithms:

Never use a general-purpose hash function (MD5, SHA256) for password storage.

Don't encrypt URL Parameters. It's the wrong tool for the job.

PHP String Encryption Example with Libsodium

If you are on PHP < 7.2 or otherwise do not have libsodium installed, you can use sodium_compat to accomplish the same result (albeit slower).

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

/**
 * Encrypt a message
 * 
 * @param string $message - message to encrypt
 * @param string $key - encryption key
 * @return string
 * @throws RangeException
 */
function safeEncrypt(string $message, string $key): string
{
    if (mb_strlen($key, '8bit') !== SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_KEYBYTES) {
        throw new RangeException('Key is not the correct size (must be 32 bytes).');
    }
    $nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES);

    $cipher = base64_encode(
        $nonce.
        sodium_crypto_secretbox(
            $message,
            $nonce,
            $key
        )
    );
    sodium_memzero($message);
    sodium_memzero($key);
    return $cipher;
}

/**
 * Decrypt a message
 * 
 * @param string $encrypted - message encrypted with safeEncrypt()
 * @param string $key - encryption key
 * @return string
 * @throws Exception
 */
function safeDecrypt(string $encrypted, string $key): string
{   
    $decoded = base64_decode($encrypted);
    $nonce = mb_substr($decoded, 0, SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES, '8bit');
    $ciphertext = mb_substr($decoded, SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES, null, '8bit');

    $plain = sodium_crypto_secretbox_open(
        $ciphertext,
        $nonce,
        $key
    );
    if (!is_string($plain)) {
        throw new Exception('Invalid MAC');
    }
    sodium_memzero($ciphertext);
    sodium_memzero($key);
    return $plain;
}

Then to test it out:

<?php
// This refers to the previous code block.
require "safeCrypto.php"; 

// Do this once then store it somehow:
$key = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_KEYBYTES);
$message = 'We are all living in a yellow submarine';

$ciphertext = safeEncrypt($message, $key);
$plaintext = safeDecrypt($ciphertext, $key);

var_dump($ciphertext);
var_dump($plaintext);

Halite - Libsodium Made Easier

One of the projects I've been working on is an encryption library called Halite, which aims to make libsodium easier and more intuitive.

<?php
use \ParagonIE\Halite\KeyFactory;
use \ParagonIE\Halite\Symmetric\Crypto as SymmetricCrypto;

// Generate a new random symmetric-key encryption key. You're going to want to store this:
$key = new KeyFactory::generateEncryptionKey();
// To save your encryption key:
KeyFactory::save($key, '/path/to/secret.key');
// To load it again:
$loadedkey = KeyFactory::loadEncryptionKey('/path/to/secret.key');

$message = 'We are all living in a yellow submarine';
$ciphertext = SymmetricCrypto::encrypt($message, $key);
$plaintext = SymmetricCrypto::decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

var_dump($ciphertext);
var_dump($plaintext);

All of the underlying cryptography is handled by libsodium.

Example with defuse/php-encryption

<?php
/**
 * This requires https://github.com/defuse/php-encryption
 * php composer.phar require defuse/php-encryption
 */

use Defuse\Crypto\Crypto;
use Defuse\Crypto\Key;

require "vendor/autoload.php";

// Do this once then store it somehow:
$key = Key::createNewRandomKey();

$message = 'We are all living in a yellow submarine';

$ciphertext = Crypto::encrypt($message, $key);
$plaintext = Crypto::decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

var_dump($ciphertext);
var_dump($plaintext);

Note: Crypto::encrypt() returns hex-encoded output.

Encryption Key Management

If you're tempted to use a "password", stop right now. You need a random 128-bit encryption key, not a human memorable password.

You can store an encryption key for long-term use like so:

$storeMe = bin2hex($key);

And, on demand, you can retrieve it like so:

$key = hex2bin($storeMe);

I strongly recommend just storing a randomly generated key for long-term use instead of any sort of password as the key (or to derive the key).

If you're using Defuse's library:

"But I really want to use a password."

That's a bad idea, but okay, here's how to do it safely.

First, generate a random key and store it in a constant.

/**
 * Replace this with your own salt! 
 * Use bin2hex() then add \x before every 2 hex characters, like so:
 */
define('MY_PBKDF2_SALT', "\x2d\xb7\x68\x1a\x28\x15\xbe\x06\x33\xa0\x7e\x0e\x8f\x79\xd5\xdf");

Note that you're adding extra work and could just use this constant as the key and save yourself a lot of heartache!

Then use PBKDF2 (like so) to derive a suitable encryption key from your password rather than encrypting with your password directly.

/**
 * Get an AES key from a static password and a secret salt
 * 
 * @param string $password Your weak password here
 * @param int $keysize Number of bytes in encryption key
 */
function getKeyFromPassword($password, $keysize = 16)
{
    return hash_pbkdf2(
        'sha256',
        $password,
        MY_PBKDF2_SALT,
        100000, // Number of iterations
        $keysize,
        true
    );
}

Don't just use a 16-character password. Your encryption key will be comically broken.

Historical Note: This was written at the time of PHP4. This is what we call "legacy code" now.

I have left this answer for historical purposes - but some of the methods are now deprecated, DES encryption method is not a recommended practice, etc.

I have not updated this code for two reasons: 1) I no longer work with encryption methods by hand in PHP, and 2) this code still serves the purpose it was intended for: to demonstrate the minimum, simplistic concept of how encryption can work in PHP.

If you find a similarly simplistic, "PHP encryption for dummies" kind of source that can get people started in 10-20 lines of code or less, let me know in comments.

Beyond that, please enjoy this Classic Episode of early-era PHP4 minimalistic encryption answer.


Ideally you have - or can get - access to the mcrypt PHP library, as its certainly popular and very useful a variety of tasks. Here's a run down of the different kinds of encryption and some example code: Encryption Techniques in PHP

//Listing 3: Encrypting Data Using the mcrypt_ecb Function 

<?php 
echo("<h3> Symmetric Encryption </h3>"); 
$key_value = "KEYVALUE"; 
$plain_text = "PLAINTEXT"; 
$encrypted_text = mcrypt_ecb(MCRYPT_DES, $key_value, $plain_text, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT); 
echo ("<p><b> Text after encryption : </b>"); 
echo ( $encrypted_text ); 
$decrypted_text = mcrypt_ecb(MCRYPT_DES, $key_value, $encrypted_text, MCRYPT_DECRYPT); 
echo ("<p><b> Text after decryption : </b>"); 
echo ( $decrypted_text ); 
?> 

A few warnings:

1) Never use reversible, or "symmetric" encryption when a one-way hash will do.

2) If the data is truly sensitive, like credit card or social security numbers, stop; you need more than any simple chunk of code will provide, but rather you need a crypto library designed for this purpose and a significant amount of time to research the methods necessary. Further, the software crypto is probably <10% of security of sensitive data. It's like rewiring a nuclear power station - accept that the task is dangerous and difficult and beyond your knowledge if that's the case. The financial penalties can be immense, so better to use a service and ship responsibility to them.

3) Any sort of easily implementable encryption, as listed here, can reasonably protect mildly important information that you want to keep from prying eyes or limit exposure in the case of accidental/intentional leak. But seeing as how the key is stored in plain text on the web server, if they can get the data they can get the decryption key.

Be that as it may, have fun :)
