Encryption Overview
SessionForge
employs sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt()
with the SODIUM_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20POLY1305_IETF_NPUBBYTES
nonce for encryption. This state-of-the-art encryption method provides strong cryptographic protection, safeguarding session data against unauthorized access and tampering.
Usage Example
require 'path/to/SessionForge.php'; // Adjust the path as needed
use SessionForge\SessionForge;
try {
// Step 1: Set Up Configuration
$config = [
'path' => __DIR__ . '/sessions', // Directory to store session files
'sessionId' => 'your_session_id', // Default session ID
'hashKey' => 'your_hash_key', // Key for hashing
'validUntil' => 3600, // Session expiration time in seconds
'compress' => true, // Enable compression
'encryption' => true, // Enable encryption
'key' => 'your_encryption_key' // Encryption key
];
// Step 3: Perform session operations (e.g., save, update, retrieve)
// Example:
$sessionForge->save(true); // Save session data with fallback enabled
} catch (SessionForgeExceptions $th) {
print_r($th->formatMessage());
}
In this example, SessionForge is configured to enable encryption using sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt()
with the SODIUM_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20POLY1305_IETF_NPUBBYTES
nonce. This ensures that session data is encrypted using a secure and modern encryption algorithm, providing strong protection against unauthorized access.
