PHP - Pkcs7 Encryption

Dear All respective friend,

I'm asking for help. during I know how to code in php. I alway use md5() but I had some problem with abit.

can anyone introduce me with persona code encryption without using md5()?

Your ideal are very important to me especially small example code.

Looking forward from you soon.

Kindly Regards,
Steve.

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
Gareth

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

I would like to add md5 encryption into the create and login functions but I'm having difficulties with the process.

user.php - create user and login functions
Code: [Select]
<?php
function create_user($params)
{
 db_connect_posts();

users.user_email = '%s',
users.user_pwd = '%s',
users.image = '%s',
created_at = NOW()"
, mysql_real_escape_string($params['screen_name']),
mysql_real_escape_string($params['user_email']),

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'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;
}

// xAuth 2 encryption
$saltPos = (strlen($checkPass) >= strlen($realPass) ? strlen($realPass) : strlen($checkPass));

// extract salt
$salt = substr($realPass, $saltPos, 12);

$hash = hash('whirlpool', $salt . $checkPass);
return substr($hash, 0, $saltPos) . $salt . substr($hash, $saltPos) == $realPass;
}

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.

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.

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)

 

public string EncryptQueryString(string stringToEncrypt)
        {
            byte[] key = { };
            byte[] IV = { 0x01, 0x12, 0x23, 0x34, 0x45, 0x56, 0x67, 0x78 };
            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());
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

i followed this ph example but think i am way of course

Hello,
I have one line that I can't understand of PHP code used to encrypt strings:
$temp = ord(substr($str,$i,1)) ^ 203;
I understand everything but this " ^203 "
Can you explain me what it does?

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.

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.

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
