Description Author

This package can encrypt data in away that can be searched.

It can take string of data and a key to create an encrypted version of the data and indexes that can be stored for instance in a database.

Applications can search for the values looking up for index values. Then they can decrypt the data using this package.

If multiple records are found to match the same index value, the applications can traverse a smaller list of records that were found during the search to find the stored records that have the exact value of the key they are searching for.

CipherSweet

Linux Build Status Latest Stable Version Latest Unstable Version License Downloads

CipherSweet is a backend library developed by Paragon Initiative Enterprises for implementing searchable field-level encryption.

Requires PHP 5.5+, although 7.2 is recommended for better performance.

Before adding searchable encryption support to your project, make sure you understand the appropriate threat model for your use case. At a minimum, you will want your application and database server to be running on separate cloud instances / virtual machines. (Even better: Separate bare-metal hardware.)

CipherSweet is available under the very permissive ISC License which allows you to use CipherSweet in any of your PHP projects, commercial or noncommercial, open source or proprietary, at no cost to you.

CipherSweet Features at a Glance

  • Encryption that targets the 256-bit security level (using AEAD modes with extended nonces to minimize users' rekeying burden).
  • Compliance-Specific Protocol Support. Multiple backends to satisfy a diverse range of compliance requirements. More can be added as needed: * ModernCrypto uses libsodium, the de facto standard encryption library for software developers. * FIPSCrypto only uses the cryptographic algorithms covered by the FIPS 140-2 recommendations to avoid auditing complexity.
  • Key separation. Each column is encrypted with a different key, all of which are derived from your master encryption key using secure key-splitting algorithms.
  • Key management integration. CipherSweet supports integration with Key Management solutions for storing and retrieving the master encryption key.
  • Searchable Encryption. CipherSweet uses blind indexing with the fuzzier and Bloom filter strategies to allow fast ciphertext search with minimal data leakage. * Each blind index on each column uses a distinct key from your encryption key and each other blind index key.
  • Adaptability. CipherSweet has a database- and product-agnostic design, so it should be easy to write an adapter to use CipherSweet in any PHP-based software.

Installing CipherSweet

Use Composer.

composer require paragonie/ciphersweet

Using CipherSweet

Please refer to the documentation to learn how to use CipherSweet.

Integration Support

Please feel free to create an issue if you'd like to integrate CipherSweet with your software.

Why "CipherSweet"?

CipherSweet was originally intend for use in in SuiteCRM (a fork of the SugarCRM Community Edition) and related products, although there is nothing preventing its use in other products.

Therefore, we opted for a pun on "ciphersuite" that pays homage to the open source heritage of the project we designed this library for.

If the wordplay is too heavy, feel free to juxtapose the two component nouns and call it "SweetCipher" in spoken conversation.
