Based on the [constant-time base64 implementation made by Steve "Sc00bz" Thomas](https://github.com/Sc00bz/ConstTimeEncoding),
|
|
this library aims to offer character encoding functions that do not leak
|
|
information about what you are encoding/decoding via processor cache
|
|
misses. Further reading on [cache-timing attacks](http://blog.ircmaxell.com/2014/11/its-all-about-time.html).
|
|
|
|
Our fork offers the following enchancements:
|
|
|
|
* `mbstring.func_overload` resistance
|
|
* Unit tests
|
|
* Composer- and Packagist-ready
|
|
* Base16 encoding
|
|
* Base32 encoding
|
|
* Uses `pack()` and `unpack()` instead of `chr()` and `ord()`
|
|
|
|
## PHP Version Requirements
|
|
|
|
Version 2 of this library should work on **PHP 7** or newer. For PHP 5
|
|
support, see [the v1.x branch](https://github.com/paragonie/constant_time_encoding/tree/v1.x).
|
|
|
|
If you are adding this as a dependency to a project intended to work on both PHP 5 and PHP 7, please set the required version to `^1|^2` instead of just `^1` or `^2`.
|
|
|
|
## How to Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
composer require paragonie/constant_time_encoding
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to Use
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use \ParagonIE\ConstantTime\Encoding;
|
|
|
|
// possibly (if applicable):
|
|
// require 'vendor/autoload.php';
|
|
|
|
$data = random_bytes(32);
|
|
echo Encoding::base64Encode($data), "\n";
|
|
echo Encoding::base32EncodeUpper($data), "\n";
|
|
echo Encoding::base32Encode($data), "\n";
|
|
echo Encoding::hexEncode($data), "\n";
|
|
echo Encoding::hexEncodeUpper($data), "\n";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you only need a particular variant, you can just reference the
|
|
required class like so:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use \ParagonIE\ConstantTime\Base64;
|
|
use \ParagonIE\ConstantTime\Base32;
|
|
|
|
$data = random_bytes(32);
|
|
echo Base64::encode($data), "\n";
|
|
echo Base32::encode($data), "\n";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
```
