Hobbyist_PHPer Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hello everyone... I am developing a software as a service program for use by multiple companies, each would have their own instance of the application... The part that I am not really to clear on, is what would be the most secure, with low latency, PHP method of encrypting/decrypting data to and from the database... all data is sent over SSL... I would also want to use a unique key for each company... Access to the program itself is protected from the outside by a user based log in system...

betterphp Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 what do you mean exactly. encrypting data between mysql and php or php and the browser ? or just things like password in the database ?

Muddy_Funster Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 PHP doesn't encrypt data in transit, that's what SSL is for (which you are using). I'm with betterphp on this one - what exactly are you asking here?
