openssl_decrypt — Decrypts data

Beschreibung

openssl_decrypt(
    string $data,
    string $cipher_algo,
    #[\SensitiveParameter] string $passphrase,
    int $options = 0,
    string $iv = "",
    ?string $tag = null,
    string $aad = ""
): string|false

Takes a raw or base64 encoded string and decrypts it using a given method and passphrase.

Parameter-Liste

data: The encrypted message to be decrypted.
cipher_algo: The cipher method. For a list of available cipher methods, use openssl_get_cipher_methods().
passphrase: The passphrase. If the passphrase is shorter than expected, it is silently padded with NUL characters; if the passphrase is longer than expected, it is silently truncated.

Achtung
There is no key derivation function used for passphrase as its name might suggest. The only operation used is padding with NUL characters or truncation if the length is different than expected.
options: options can be one of OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, OPENSSL_ZERO_PADDING or OPENSSL_DONT_ZERO_PAD_KEY.
iv: A non-null Initialization Vector. If the IV is shorter than expected, it is padded with NUL characters and warning is emitted; if the passphrase is longer than expected, it is truncated and warning is emitted.
tag: The authentication tag in AEAD cipher mode. If it is incorrect, the authentication fails and the function returns false.

Achtung
The length of the tag is not checked by the function. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the length of the tag matches the length of the tag retrieved when openssl_encrypt() has been called. Otherwise the decryption may succeed if the given tag only matches the start of the proper tag.
aad: Additional authenticated data.

Rückgabewerte

The decrypted string on successBei einem Fehler wird false zurückgegeben..

Fehler/Exceptions

Emits an E_WARNING level error if an unknown cipher algorithm is passed via the cipher_algo parameter.

Emits an E_WARNING level error if an empty value is passed in via the iv parameter.

Changelog

Version	Beschreibung
8.1.0	`tag` is now nullable.
7.1.0	The `tag` and `aad` parameters were added.

Parameters may seem obvius to some but not for everyone so:



- $data can be as the description says raw or base64. If no $option is set (this is, if value of 0 is passed in this parameter), data will be assumed to be base64 encoded. If parameter OPENSSL_RAW_DATA is set, it will be understood as row data.



- $password (key) is a String of [pseudo] bytes as those generated by the function openssl_random_pseudo_bytes().



- $options as (as for 2016) two possible values OPENSSL_RAW_DATA and OPENSSL_ZERO_PADDING. Setting both can be done by OPENSSL_RAW_DATA|OPENSSL_ZERO_PADDING. If no OPENSSL_ZERO_PADDING is specify, default pading of PKCS#7 will be done as it's been observe by [openssl at mailismagic dot com]'s coment in openssl_encrypt()



- $iv is as in the case of $password, a String of bytes. Its length depends on the algorithm used. May be the best way to generate an $iv is by:



<?php

    $iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(openssl_cipher_iv_length('your algorithm'));// for example you algorithm = 'AES-256-CTR'

?>

in case that hosting do not provide openssl_encrypt decrypt functions - it could be mimiced via commad prompt executions  
this functions will check is if openssl is installed and try to use it by default

function sslPrm()
{
 return array("your_password","IV (optional)","aes-128-cbc");
}
function sslEnc($msg)
{
  list ($pass, $iv, $method)=sslPrm();
  if(function_exists('openssl_encrypt'))
     return urlencode(openssl_encrypt(urlencode($msg), $method, $pass, false, $iv));
  else
     return urlencode(exec("echo \"".urlencode($msg)."\" | openssl enc -".urlencode($method)." -base64 -nosalt -K ".bin2hex($pass)." -iv ".bin2hex($iv)));
}
function sslDec($msg)
{
  list ($pass, $iv, $method)=sslPrm();
  if(function_exists('openssl_decrypt'))
     return trim(urldecode(openssl_decrypt(urldecode($msg), $method, $pass, false, $iv)));
  else
     return trim(urldecode(exec("echo \"".urldecode($msg)."\" | openssl enc -".$method." -d -base64 -nosalt -K ".bin2hex($pass)." -iv ".bin2hex($iv))));
}

//example of usage:
$r= sslEnc("This is encryption/decryption test!");
echo "<br>\n".$r.":".sslDec($r);

The parameter string $password must be in binary form and is derived from the exadecimal key value.

Example:

encrypting in command line console with openssl
openssl AES-256-CBC -K 5ae1b8a17bad4da4fdac796f64c16ecd -iv 34857d973953e44afb49ea9d61104d8c -in doc.txt -out doc.enc.txt

decripting in php
$key = hex2bin('5ae1b8a17bad4da4fdac796f64c16ecd');
$iv = hex2bin('34857d973953e44afb49ea9d61104d8c');

$output = openssl_decrypt($encstr, 'AES-256-CBC', $key, OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);

openssl_decrypt(..) works with most but not all method types.
This list can vary, depending on the data (Message) and key (Password) used.

See the following code and edit the $text and $password values.
Code checks if text is the same after encrypting then decrypting it.

Note:
  You can still use openssl_encrypt(..) with;
  User enters 'Log-in password'
  (Encrypted and stored using openssl_encrypt)
  Next time.
  User logs-in with 'Log-in password'
  (Check that encrypted 'Log-in password' = stored data)

<CODE>
  // Please edit $password=... and $text=...

  $password = "This is a journey into sound";

  $text = "";
  for($charNo=0; $charNo<=255; $charNo=$charNo+1){
    // if($charNo==127) {$charNo=$charNo+1;}
    if(!$charNo<127){
      // $text = $text."&#x".strtoupper(dechex($charNo)).";";
      $text = $text.chr($charNo);
    } else {
      $text = $text.chr($charNo);
    }
  }

$text = "This is a test message.";

  print "<TABLE BORDER=\"1\">\n";
  print "<TR><TD><B>Encryption type:</B></TD><TD><B>String after converting back:</B></TD></TR>\n";
  $ciphers = openssl_get_cipher_methods();
  for($pointer=0; $pointer<count($ciphers); $pointer=$pointer+1){
    $edit  = EncryptDecrypt($text, true,  $password, $ciphers[$pointer]);
    $check = EncryptDecrypt($edit, false, $password, $ciphers[$pointer]);
    if($text!=$check){
      $info  = $check;
      print "<TR><TD>".$ciphers[$pointer]."</TD><TD>".$info."</TD></TR>\n";
    }
  }
  print "</TABLE>\n";

function EncryptDecrypt($oldText, $encryptIt=true, $password="PASSWORD", $encryptType=""){
  $ciphers = openssl_get_cipher_methods();
  $foundEncType = false;
  for($pointer=0; $pointer<count($ciphers); $pointer=$pointer+1){
    if($ciphers[$pointer]==$encryptType){$foundEncType=true;}
  }
  if(!$foundEncType){
    $encryptType = "RC2-64-CBC"; // Default value used if not set or listed.
  }
  if($encryptIt){
    $newText = openssl_encrypt($oldText,$encryptType,$password);
  } else {
    $newText = openssl_decrypt($oldText,$encryptType,$password);
  }
  return $newText;
}
</CODE>
The following (sometimes) don't work:
    DES-EDE3-CFB1    (sometimes)
    aes-128-gcm
    aes-192-gcm
    aes-256-gcm
    des-ede3-cfb1        (sometimes)
    id-aes128-GCM
    id-aes192-GCM
    id-aes256-GCM
