Hi everyone

Could someone please advise me as to how i craete Truecrypt – 256bit AES using PHP from my form values which will then be written to my mySQL DB.

( a free way as well )


Any help would be appreciated.

True-crypt is a different piece of software entirely.

You can do:

The problem is , AES 256 is not standard in PHP so you will need external modules to do it.

The above should cover it.

This is great. Somewhat in the direction i was heading after readin about but nice to have the functions there and ready to go.

Cheers

Yep, Simply call the function with the password and key to encrypt and then send it again with the encrypted value and the same key to see the password.

Note,
if you are using this for password storage, Id be careful.

I personally think "hashing" a password is better as its only one way .
If someone got your DB and the Key, They would have ALL passwords.

With a hash, this wouldn't happen.
Rainbow table lookups can be slow and if you use a SALT and ensure users use string passwords there is no way to even use a rainbow lookup.

nice one.
Its not actually for password security. Of all things its simply for form data!
Don't ask! ha ha. I have no idea why lol

Hey ho though new skills learnt lol

Thanks for your input.
