Introduction</h2></div></div></div><p> - All of the cryptographic libraries included in phpseclib use mcrypt, if available, and an internal implementation - if it's not. The libraries all use a common interface although some functions, for some algorithms, carry with - with them certain caveats. Those that do not have caveats attached (or have relatively few attached) are - described below. If you don't know which one to use, try <code class="code">Crypt_TripleDES</code>. - </p><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_dependencies"></a>3.1.1. Dependencies</h3></div></div></div><p> - The Crypt_* functions require, minimally, PHP 4.0.0. Crypt_TripleDES additionally requires Crypt/DES.php. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_set"></a>3.1.2. setKey() and setIV()</h3></div></div></div><p> - Sets the key and the initialization vector, respectively. If neither are set, each assumed to be equal to - some amount of null bytes. The initialization vector is only used in block ciphers and even then only - in CBC mode. If the key or the initialization vector are larger then the block size, they're truncated. - If they're smaller, they're padded with null bytes. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_encrypt"></a>3.1.3. encrypt() and decrypt()</h3></div></div></div><p> - Self-explanatory. Encrypts or decrypts messages. See the examples in the subsequent sections. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_continuousbuffer"></a>3.1.4. enableContinuousBuffer() and disableContinuousBuffer()</h3></div></div></div><p> - If the continuous buffer is enabled and you're using a stream cipher or a block cipher mode other than ECB then encrypting the same string twice will yield different ciphertexts. - The reason being that the IV doesn't reset after each encryption / decryption round when the continuous buffer is used. - This provides better security but it may also make for less intuitive behavior. - For this reason, the continuous buffer is disabled by default. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_padding"></a>3.1.5. enablePadding() and disablePadding()</h3></div></div></div><p> - Enables / disables PKCS padding on block ciphers. Stream ciphers (<code class="code">Crypt_RC4</code> is the only stream - cipher currently included) ignore this. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_caution"></a>3.1.6. A word of caution about stream ciphers and CTR mode</h3></div></div></div><p> - Most stream ciphers (and block ciphers operating in a mode - like CTR - that turns them into stream ciphers) work by generating a stream of pseudorandom characters called a <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystream" target="_top">keystream</a> and then XOR'ing that with the plaintext. - This *effectively* makes them <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad" target="_top">one-time pads</a> which, in theory, can provide perfect secrecy. The problem with one-time pads is that they're not as versatile as one might desire. - Among other things, a keystream must never be reset, lest it be possible for an attacker to recover the keystream via a <a class="ulink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known-plaintext_attack" target="_top">known-plaintext attack</a>. ie. <code class="code">$ciphertext ^ $plaintext = $key</code>. If <code class="code">$key</code> is constant (because the keystream's being reset or something) than an attacker can recover any <code class="code">$plaintext</code>, but if not - if it's dynamic - then the only key that an attacker could recover is their own. - </p></div></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="sym_crypt_des"></a>3.2.

AES vs. Rijndael</h3></div></div></div><p> - AES is a subset of Rijndael. Both have variable key sizes, however, AES's block size is fixed at 128 bits, whereas Rijndael's is variable. Also, Rijndael supports, by means of an extension to the specification, two key sizes that AES does not - 160 bits and 224 bits. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_aes_setkeylength"></a>3.5.3. setKeyLength()</h3></div></div></div><p> - Valid key lengths for AES are 128 bits, 192 bits, and 256 bits. If the key that is assigned is invalid and less than 256 bits, they key length is rounded up to the next closest valid size and the key will be null padded to that amount. If the key length is greater than 256 bits, it will be truncated to 256 bits. - </p><p> - As an example, if the key is 136 bits, it will be null padded to 192 bits (or 160 bits if Rijndael is being used). - </p><p> - If <code class="code">setKeyLength()</code> has been called, this behavior changes somewhat. Say you've set the key length, via this function, to 256 bits. Then, instead of an invalid key being null padded to 192 or 160 bits, it will be null padded to 256 bits. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_aes_setblocklength"></a>3.5.4. setBlockLength()</h3></div></div></div><p> - <code class="code">setBlockLength()</code> operates in a manner similar to <code class="code">setKeyLength()</code>, with one exception. <code class="code">setBlockLength()</code> only works on Rijndael. Although <code class="code">Crypt_AES</code> inherits <code class="code">setBlockLength()</code> as a function, the function doesn't do anything in AES. - </p></div><div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sym_crypt_aes_benchmarks"></a>3.5.5. Speed Comparisons</h3></div></div></div><p> - The following table compares the speed of five different pure-PHP implementations of AES (one of which is Crypt_Rijndael and one of which is Crypt_AES) when ran on 150KB of text on a 1.8GHz Pentium 4-M. The numbers listed are averaged from five different trials and are measured in seconds. phpseclib's two implementations are highlighted.
