AES MySQL encryption issue.
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 12:24 pm
Hello again, members of the PHP Technorati. Again I come seeking your guidance on the subject of AES encryption in the Mysql db. I understand that it is better to use VARBINARY instead of varchar, I have two questions:
1- Does VARBINARY allow unlimited string length or is it like varchar that allows about 220 characters?
2- How do I implement AES 256 encryption? Is it just a matter of using large salt?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Batoe
