is Encryption Class in codeigniter is secure and which cipher they used

QUESTION

is Encryption Class in codeigniter is secure and which cipher they used

Asked 2017-Sep-27 at 09:03

I am using Encryption Class in codeigniter. Encryption Class Reference. according to this documentation they used Mcrypt library.

According to PHP Manual PHP Manual Reference at the below you see User Contributed Notes

This extension rely in libmcrypt which is dead, unmaintained since 2007.

Please don't rely on it, consider switching to well maintained alternatives (openssl, crypt, password hashing functions, phpseclib, password_compat...)

My question is

Is Encryption Class is secure or not?
If it's secure then how much i rely on this?
Finally which cipher they used to encryption or decryption? (AES, DES or Triple DES etc.)

I need your experience or Opinion about Encryption Class.

Thanks

Is Encryption Class is secure or not?

Whether the class is secure is less relevant than what you are using it for. If you want to use if for password encryption, then I'd say no. Encrypting passwords is bad practice. You should hash them. For that I'd suggest to heed the note in the PHP Manual and use the password hashing functions.

If it's secure then how much i rely on this?

How should we know how much you rely on this?

Finally which cipher they used to encryption or decryption? (AES, DES or Triple DES etc.)

The docs you linked state it uses MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 as the default cipher with MCRYPT_MODE_ECB for the default mode.
