PHP - Md5 Encryption Is Not Working

I am looking for a way to encrypt a string using PKCS7. I have seen openssl_pkcs7_encrypt() but this involves the creation of temporary files which I don't really need. Is there a way to do this?

Is there any tutorial or book where i can learn about how to do the encryption?? thanks in advance

Hey, I'm a bit stuck. I'm looking for a simple yet secure way to encrypt a string (not hash, I need to retrieve it later) so that I can store legally sensitive data which I need to use again later. I am aware that any kind of reversable data is by nature not properly secure, but it's not my decision. I'd rather see if there's a pre-built function or class for this rather than just writing my own, which wouldn't be too good

Thanks in Advance

Hy 2 all,

I have some questions about password security that I haven't been able to find an answer yet.   
Hopefully you guys know.

Here it goes:

1. Is it better to hash(sha2) the password and then salt it or salt it and than hash it ?
2. I'm guessing that using a random salt is better than the same salt used for every password.
3. How can you generate a different random salt for each password ? I mean how will the login page know which random salt to mix with the hashed user inserted password and then to compare it with the password stored in the db. (an example would be great(for both: generating and authentication)
4. I saw some codes in which the salt and/or hash and/or password was split into two (ex: hash.salt1a.password.salt1b  or  password1a.salt.password1b  or  salt.hash1a.password.hash1b  etc.) Is this a good idea ? Is it really more secure ? If so which would be more secure (splitting the password, the hash or the salt) ?
5. Is double hashing (ex: (sha1(md5($password))) any good ?
6. I've been reading something about password salt and pepper ?? What exactly is pepper ? Is it some sort of second salt ?

If somebody could enlighten me about these questions, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I am reworking some code from a password authentication I did a long long time ago.  The original code is using SHA1() function to encrypt the passwords for storage in the MySQL database.

Is that still considered the way to go, or should I be using a different method for encrypting the little buggers?

Thanks

Hi,

Im using this code:
Code: [Select]
function encryptdata($data_input,$key){     

    $td = mcrypt_module_open('cast-256', '', 'ecb', '');
    $iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_RAND);
    mcrypt_generic_init($td, $key, $iv);
    $encrypted_data = mcrypt_generic($td, $data_input);
    mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
    mcrypt_module_close($td);
    $encoded_64=base64_encode($encrypted_data);
    return $encoded_64;
}   


function decryptdata($encoded_64,$key){
    $decoded_64=base64_decode($encoded_64);
    $td = mcrypt_module_open('cast-256', '', 'ecb', '');
    $iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_RAND);
    mcrypt_generic_init($td, $key, $iv);
    $decrypted_data = mdecrypt_generic($td, $decoded_64);
    mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
    mcrypt_module_close($td);
    return $decrypted_data;
}

To try to encrypt and decrypt some data, However the decrypted password has the first 2 letters missing. Whatever length string i put in its always the first 2 letters that go missing. I have tried multiple pieces of code over the internet with the exact same problem.

Example: (Original Password, Encrypted Password, Decrypted Password)
BEBw3nJ9rT y3CdmtNeTmhO3Jrq/00YOA== Bw3nJ9rT

Any help?
Thanks.

P.s Yes i am using the same key for the encryption and decryption.

I have never worked with des encryption before and have searched through internet getting 3 des and acb - tested multiple code but cant get encrypted the same as in c#

 

public string EncryptQueryString(string stringToEncrypt)

        {

            try
            {
                key = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(KEY);
using (DESCryptoServiceProvider oDESCrypto = new DESCryptoServiceProvider())
                {
                    byte[] inputByteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToEncrypt);
                    MemoryStream oMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
                    CryptoStream oCryptoStream = new CryptoStream(oMemoryStream,
                    oDESCrypto.CreateEncryptor(key, IV), CryptoStreamMode.Write);
                    oCryptoStream.Write(inputByteArray, 0, inputByteArray.Length);
                    oCryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
                    return Convert.ToBase64String(oMemoryStream.ToArray());
                }
            }

            {
                throw;
            }

Customer data is encrypted using OpenSSL, and then stored in mySQL varbinary column on a server.
It's now supposedly super safe -- because it can only be read using the secret key hidden right next to it.

Question: What if I encrypted that key?
And that key could only be decrypted with a passphrase submitted from my own dedicated computer?

Then I would be the only one able to read the encrypted customer data on my server, even if that server got hacked.

Obviously that would not work, because the server needs the untampered secret key in order to encrypt the data for mySQL.

Although this seems insurmountable, it feels more like a logic problem....where if you think about it long enough, the answer will come.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you.

 

Good day all, I need some help with a piece of code I wrote.
I have a 16 digit hex value whic I encrypt (3DES) with another 16 digit hex value. The result is a 32 digit hex value. The problem is I need to store the result in a 16 digit hex value to transport it to a host which will do the decryption.

$data = "3e5fa17b6ab1b1b1";
$key   = "0123456789abcdef";
$enc = mcrypt_cbc (mcrypt_3des, $key, $data, mcrypt_encrypt);  --> this results in 16 position raw binary data
$enc = bin2hex($enc);  --> I get a 32 digit hex value, but the space available will only fit a 16 digit hex value.

If i'm going about this totally wrong please let me know, this has been buggin me for some time now.
Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thank you.

Writing an app that requires symmetric encryption.

I need to be able to have a key (such as 123) and be able to use this key and encrypt a string. Then decrypt the string later using the same key.

This encryption needs to be pretty robust and unbreakable.

Any functions or suggestions?!? Thinking of using the mcrypt library in some way.

I am trying to decrypt a code encrypted with XTEA. I have been using a script found here, http://goo.gl/xCpgs and it works within its own encrypt/decrypt example. The problem is that it will not decrypt a code given to me by my client. In the code examples description it says the "key" is 16 characters, but the key I have from my client is 32 characters so I think this may be part of the problem, but I cannot find out in the code how to make it work with a 32 char key (if that is even the issue).

Below is the class from the link above and below that are sample encrypt and decrypt strings. If anyone can provide help or a better solution, it is greatly appreciated. My guess is that it is only allowing 16 of my 32 char key. I tried to use a 32 char key, but the code still seemed to only want 16. Help!

I also read something about XTEA only working within the same code language each side of the crypt was made. Can anyone validate this?

This is what the password encryption code looks like:
Code: [Select]
function passencr($username, $password){

$pepper = ******; //a hard-coded pepper.
$salt = ******; //a customizable salt defined by user.

$username = md5($username);
$password = md5($password);

$newpassword = sha1($username.$password);
$finalpassword = sha1($pepper.$newpassword.$salt);
return $finalpassword;
} 

So in this script both username and password are encrypted with md5 and then joined together to further encrypt with sha1 method. The finalized string is a combination of the new string, pepper and salt. I wonder if this is secure enough and whether there is a way to improve it.

I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I'm having trouble with this encryption and I'm a real noob at PHP.

This is for a registration form going into a mysql DB for integration with a gaming server that must use a Whirlpool Salt Hash encryption.

These are the variables for my form:

userPassword
userName
userEmail

This was my original encryption script (MD5)
Code: [Select]
$_POST['userPassword'] = md5($_POST['userPassword']);

This is the function that I am given to integrate into my website system:
Code: [Select]
function encryptPassword($password) {
$salt = substr(hash('whirlpool', uniqid(rand(), true)), 0, 12);
$hash = hash('whirlpool', $salt . $password);
$saltPos = (strlen($password) >= strlen($hash) ? strlen($hash) : strlen($password));
return substr($hash, 0, $saltPos) . $salt . substr($hash, $saltPos);
}
I've tried inserting the variable $_POST['userPassword'] in place for $password, but it gives me errors...

I'm stuck here, could someone show me how to properly integrate this? I think the problem isn't getting the password into the function but catching the returned variable

Sorry for my noobishnness,
-Nolam


EDIT:

I'm also given this for the login page to check the hash. If you could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated to. Thanks!!!

Code: [Select]
function checkPassword($realPass, $checkPass) {
//check for old encryption (md5 or whirlpool)
if (strlen($realPass) == 32 || strlen($realPass) == 128) {
$hash = (strlen($realPass) == 32 ? md5($checkPass) : hash('whirlpool', $checkPass));
if ($realPass == $hash) {
// change password to new encryption?
return true;
} else
return false;

hello everyone i'm new to PHP and i need your help. I'm developing a code which implements shannon-fano encryption algorithm with php. But i have problems with my function.
Basicly i try to do this:
1.Specofy a string to be coded.
2.Count the number of occurences of a character and write it in assoc array like this : "A"=>4,"B"=>2 etc. then i copy this array
3.After i have the array i sort it descending.
4.Divide the given array into two arrays where the sum of the values is almost equal.In the Copied array i set the value of the elements which fit into the fisrt divided array with 0 the rest with 1.
5.Each of the divided arrays i divide with recursion again until every symbol is into different array.and add to the value in the copied array 0 or 1;
6.I try to print the copied array.
here is my function which doesnt work and gives a lot of errors
function divide_array($array)
{
  $sum=0;
  $mid=array_sum($array)/2;
  foreach($array as $k=>$v)
  {
    if($sum<$mid){
      $sum=$sum+$array[$k];
      $up[$k]=$array[$k];
      $codeArr[$k]=0;
    }
    else
    {
       
      $down=array_slice($array,$k+1);
      $codeArr[$k]=1;
       
    }
  }
  divide_array($up);
  divide_array($down);
  echo "<pre>";
  print_r($codeArr);
  echo "</pre>";
}
 
i appreciate any help
PS:I know this can be done easier with trees but i don't understand them.
