openssl_get_cipher_methods — Gets available cipher methods

Description

array openssl_get_cipher_methods ([ bool $aliases = FALSE ] )

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.

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:
