"I'm running PHP 4.3.7 on Apache 2.0.49 on an Xp machine, and after many hours of googling
over the internet I found that the easiest way to use the mcrypt function was to do this:"
Thanks for posting this Mike but there seems to be a problem
with your implementation.
On my machine and I suspect others, the output is independent
of the key. I can change the key and this has no effect on
the resulting crypted data. So the input is always encrypted the
same way irregardless of the key and therefore decrypted
with any key.
This would only be secure if an attacker knew nothing about the
algorithm which seems unlikely from an experienced attacker.
I am looking into a fix and will post if resolved.
Does anybody else have this problem? I want to make sure my install is good.
I am running on a gentoo linux box.
Thanks,
Wil
Here is the code I am using to test the algorithm:
<head><title>Encryption</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php print_debug_header(1); ?>
<form name=form method=post action='encrypt.php'>
<table align=center>
<TR><TD>Source Text:</TD><TD><input type=text name=input value=<?php
echo $_REQUEST['input']; ?>></TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Key:</TD><TD><input type=text name=key value=<?php echo
$_REQUEST['key']; ?>></TD></TR>
</table>
<input type=submit>
</form>
<?php
if(!empty($_REQUEST['input'])){
$encrypted=encrypt($_REQUEST['input']);
$decrypted=decrypt($encrypted);
echo "Encrypted : '$encrypted' Decrypted: '$decrypted' <BR>";
}
$key = $_REQUEST['key'];
//Encrypt Function
function encrypt($encrypt) {
global $key;
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$passcrypt = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $encrypt, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
$encode = base64_encode($passcrypt);
return $encode;
}
//Decrypt Function
function decrypt($decrypt) {
global $key;
$decoded = base64_decode($decrypt);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$decrypted = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $decoded, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
return $decrypted;
}
?>
</body>
