sodium_crypto_secretbox_open

Authenticated shared-key decryption

 **sodium_crypto_secretbox_open** string $ciphertext string $nonce string $key

Decrypt an encrypted message with a symmetric (shared) key.

ciphertext Must be in the format provided by (ciphertext and tag, concatenated). sodium_crypto_secretbox

nonce A number that must be only used once, per message. 24 bytes long. This is a large enough bound to generate randomly (i.e. ). random_bytes

keyEncryption key (256-bit).

The decrypted string on successreturn.falseforfailure.

  • If has a length of bytes different than (24 bytes), a will be thrown. nonceSODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTESSodiumException
  • If has a length of bytes different than (32 bytes), a will be thrown. keySODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_KEYBYTESSodiumException

Voorbeeld: example

<?php
// The $key must be kept confidential
$key = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_KEYBYTES);
// Do not reuse $nonce with the same key
$nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES);
$ciphertext = sodium_crypto_secretbox('message to be encrypted', $nonce, $key);

// The same nonce and key are required to decrypt the $ciphertext
$plaintext = sodium_crypto_secretbox_open($ciphertext, $nonce, $key);
if ($plaintext !== false) {
    echo $plaintext . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
