openssl_seal

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_sealSeal (encrypt) data

Description

openssl_seal(
    string $data,
    string &$sealed_data,
    array &$encrypted_keys,
    array $public_key,
    string $cipher_algo,
    string &$iv = null
): int|false

openssl_seal() seals (encrypts) data by using the given cipher_algo with a randomly generated secret key. The key is encrypted with each of the public keys associated with the identifiers in public_key and each encrypted key is returned in encrypted_keys. This means that one can send sealed data to multiple recipients (provided one has obtained their public keys). Each recipient must receive both the sealed data and the envelope key that was encrypted with the recipient's public key.

Parameters

data

The data to seal.

sealed_data

The sealed data.

encrypted_keys

Array of encrypted keys.

public_key

Array of OpenSSLAsymmetricKey instances containing public keys.

cipher_algo

The cipher method.

Caution

The default value ('RC4') is considered insecure. It is strongly recommended to explicitly specify a secure cipher method.

iv

The initialization vector.

Return Values

Returns the length of the sealed data on success, or false on error. If successful the sealed data is returned in sealed_data, and the envelope keys in encrypted_keys.

Changelog

Version Description
8.0.0 public_key accepts an array of OpenSSLAsymmetricKey instances now; previously, an array of resources of type OpenSSL key was accepted.
8.0.0 cipher_algo is no longer an optional parameter.
8.0.0 iv is nullable now.

Examples

Example #1 openssl_seal() example

<?php
// $data is assumed to contain the data to be sealed

// fetch public keys for our recipients, and ready them
$fp fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/maurice/cert.pem""r");
$cert fread($fp8192);
fclose($fp);
$pk1 openssl_get_publickey($cert);
// Repeat for second recipient
$fp fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem""r");
$cert fread($fp8192);
fclose($fp);
$pk2 openssl_get_publickey($cert);

// seal message, only owners of $pk1 and $pk2 can decrypt $sealed with keys
// $ekeys[0] and $ekeys[1] respectively.
openssl_seal($data$sealed$ekeys, array($pk1$pk2));

// free the keys from memory
openssl_free_key($pk1);
openssl_free_key($pk2);
?>
