Hello and good time to all my dear friends!
When I encrypt the data and store it in the database? Can anyone who gets hold of our database decrypt our stored data? Thanks

@javadrajabihakami if you are using neoCryptoEncrypt command the secret key (password) is necessary to decrypt the content.

Regards.

Entiendo que la clave de descifrado debe ir fuera de la aplicacion (?)
Podria cargarse de un archivo mediante neophp (?)

I understand that the decryption key must go outside the application (?)
It could be loaded from a file via neophp (?)

Hello and good time! Where should we store the key? To be safe...! We use free hosts! We need to encrypt some data! Thanks

@juancasev @javadrajabihakami the key must be something the user writes (just as a password).
If you load a secret key within your app it will be visible to anyone with enough knowledge.

Regards.
