2 way long Encryption Recommendation

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

2 way long Encryption Recommendation

Post by giles »

Hi,

I’m looking for a recommendation for a 2 way encryption function to encode / decode long strings (e.g. 1000 or more characters) into a MySQL table ... can you advise?

thanks in advance

You have more options if you do the encryption client-side with mcrypt.
