openssl_get_cipher_methods

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_get_cipher_methodsGets available cipher methods

Description

openssl_get_cipher_methods(bool $aliases = false): array

Gets a list of available cipher methods.

Parameters

aliases

Set to true if cipher aliases should be included within the returned array.

Return Values

An array of available cipher methods. Note that prior to OpenSSL 1.1.1, the cipher methods have been returned in upper case and lower case spelling; as of OpenSSL 1.1.1 only the lower case variants are returned.

Examples

Example #1 openssl_get_cipher_methods() example

Shows how the available ciphers might look, and also which aliases might be available.

<?php
$ciphers             
openssl_get_cipher_methods();
$ciphers_and_aliases openssl_get_cipher_methods(true);
$cipher_aliases      array_diff($ciphers_and_aliases$ciphers);

//ECB mode should be avoided
$ciphers array_filter$ciphers, function($n) { return stripos($n,"ecb")===FALSE; } );

//At least as early as Aug 2016, Openssl declared the following weak: RC2, RC4, DES, 3DES, MD5 based
$ciphers array_filter$ciphers, function($c) { return stripos($c,"des")===FALSE; } );
$ciphers array_filter$ciphers, function($c) { return stripos($c,"rc2")===FALSE; } );
$ciphers array_filter$ciphers, function($c) { return stripos($c,"rc4")===FALSE; } );
$ciphers array_filter$ciphers, function($c) { return stripos($c,"md5")===FALSE; } );
$cipher_aliases array_filter($cipher_aliases,function($c) { return stripos($c,"des")===FALSE; } );
$cipher_aliases array_filter($cipher_aliases,function($c) { return stripos($c,"rc2")===FALSE; } );

print_r($ciphers);
print_r($cipher_aliases);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:
