This repository has moved to laminas/laminas-crypt.

Zend\Crypt provides support of some cryptographic tools. Some of the available features are:

• encrypt-then-authenticate using symmetric ciphers (the authentication step is provided using HMAC);
• encrypt/decrypt using symmetric and public key algorithm (e.g. RSA algorithm);
• encrypt/decrypt using hybrid mode (OpenPGP like);
• generate digital sign using public key algorithm (e.g. RSA algorithm);
• key exchange using the Diffie-Hellman method;
• key derivation function (e.g. using PBKDF2 algorithm);
• secure password hash (e.g. using Bcrypt algorithm);
• generate Hash values;
• generate HMAC values;

The main scope of this component is to offer an easy and secure way to protect and authenticate sensitive data in PHP.
