Constant-Time Encoding
Based on the constant-time base64 implementation made by Steve "Sc00bz" Thomas, this library aims to offer character encoding functions that do not leak information about what you are encoding/decoding via processor cache misses. Further reading on cache-timing attacks.
Our fork offers the following enchancements:
mbstring.func_overload
resistance- Unit tests
- Composer- and Packagist-ready
- Base16 encoding
- Base32 encoding
- Uses
pack()
andunpack()
instead ofchr()
andord()
PHP Version Requirements
Version 2 of this library should work on PHP 7 or newer. For PHP 5 support, see the v1.x branch.
If you are adding this as a dependency to a project intended to work on both PHP 5 and PHP 7, please set the required version to ^1|^2
instead of just ^1
or ^2
.
How to Install
composer require paragonie/constant_time_encoding
How to Use
use ParagonIE\ConstantTime\Encoding;
// possibly (if applicable):
// require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$data = random_bytes(32);
echo Encoding::base64Encode($data), "\n";
echo Encoding::base32EncodeUpper($data), "\n";
echo Encoding::base32Encode($data), "\n";
echo Encoding::hexEncode($data), "\n";
echo Encoding::hexEncodeUpper($data), "\n";

If you only need a particular variant, you can just reference the required class like so:
use ParagonIE\ConstantTime\Base64;
use ParagonIE\ConstantTime\Base32;
$data = random_bytes(32);
echo Base64::encode($data), "\n";
echo Base32::encode($data), "\n";
