sodium_crypto_secretbox — Authenticated shared-key encryption
Encrypt a message with a symmetric (shared) key.
message
The plaintext message to encrypt.
nonce
A number that must be only used once, per message. 24 bytes long. This is a large enough bound to generate randomly (i.e. random_bytes()).
key
Encryption key (256-bit).
Returns the encrypted string.
nonce
has a length of bytes different than
SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES
(24 bytes), a SodiumException will be thrown.
key
has a length of bytes different than
SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_KEYBYTES
(32 bytes), a SodiumException will be thrown.
Example #1 sodium_crypto_secretbox() example
<?php
// The $key must be kept confidential
$key = sodium_crypto_secretbox_keygen();
// Do not reuse $nonce with the same key
$nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES);
$plaintext = "message to be encrypted";
$ciphertext = sodium_crypto_secretbox($plaintext, $nonce, $key);
var_dump(bin2hex($ciphertext));
// The same nonce and key are required to decrypt the $ciphertext
var_dump(sodium_crypto_secretbox_open($ciphertext, $nonce, $key));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
string(78) "3a1fa3e9f7b72ef8be51d40abf8e296c6899c185d07b18b4c93e7f26aa776d24c50852cd6b1076" string(23) "message to be encrypted"
