laravel 4.2 queries with an encrypted column

问题

i currently have this code in my controller which display a set of records here is my code

public function view()
{
    $title = "View Guardian Information";
    $vPa   = DB::table('dbo_guardianinformation')
                ->join('dbo_cities', 'dbo_guardianinformation.CityID', '=' , 'dbo_cities.CityID')
                ->select('dbo_guardianinformation.ParentAccountID','dbo_guardianinformation.FirstName','dbo_guardianinformation.LastName','dbo_guardianinformation.Roles',
                        'dbo_guardianinformation.Address','dbo_cities.CityName','dbo_guardianinformation.Status','dbo_guardianinformation.EmailAddress')
                ->get();
     //encrypt decrypt algo
    // $sptkey  = md5('sample_encryptkey');
    // $enPass  = rtrim(base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $sptkey, $defPass, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB)));
    // $decPass = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $sptkey, base64_decode($enPass), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB));

    return View::make('ssims.view_parentAccount',compact('title','vPa'));
}

my problem is that the column dbo_guardianinformation.Addresscontains encrypted records i currently have no idea on where should i put the decryption code so that when the $vPa will be passed to the view it already contained the decrypted records. any ideas? thanks to anybody who would help

Indexing Encrypted Data

If you need to search an encrypted column in a SQL database quickly and efficiently, you need to construct a blind index of the data (i.e. store hash_hmac('sha256', $plaintext, $separate_key_here) in an additional column) and structure your select queries based on that. (The linked article explains the security requirements.)

This saves you from having to do a foreach() loop but, since HMAC-SHA256 is used, it's incredibly unlikely that an attacker with access to the database will be able to tease the plaintext out of the system.

That said, there's something else I would like to address:

Weak Cryptography

Please don't use the encryption code you included in your question. It's very insecure. Laravel has its own encryption class; please use that instead. It does a lot of the things right that the code snippet you included does not. For example: it provides authenticated encryption.

$sptkey = md5('sample_encryptkey');

If you want a modicum of security in your application, don't ever use md5($string) to generate a key. This is just a bad idea all around:

• md5() returns a 32-char hex string
• Most encryption functions expect a raw binary string
• MD5 is an incredibly broken hash function
• To transform a password into an encryption key, you need to use a key derivation function, i.e. Password-Based Key Derivation Function #2 with SHA-256 (PBKDF2-SHA256).

Consider, for example, this code instead:

define('MY_APP_PBKDF2_ITERATIONS', 86000);
define('MY_APP_KEY_LENGTH', 32); // or 16 for AES-128
// ...
$sptkey = hash_pbkdf2(
    'sha256',
    $your_password,
    $salt, // 32 bytes from /dev/urandom
    MY_APP_PBKDF2_ITERATIONS,
    MY_APP_KEY_LENGTH,
    true
);

I've expanded the whitespace here and left some inline-comments below:

$enPass = rtrim(                 // Unnecessary, base64_encode doesn't leave whitespace
    base64_encode(
        mcrypt_encrypt(
            MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, // This isn't AES-256 by the way
            $sptkey,
            $defPass,
            MCRYPT_MODE_ECB      // ECB mode is the worst mode
        )
    )
);
$decPass = rtrim(               // Padding oracle attack
    mcrypt_decrypt(
        MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256,
        $sptkey,
        base64_decode($enPass), // No error checking
        MCRYPT_MODE_ECB
    )
);

Further reading on the specific issues:

• MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256
• MCRYPT_MODE_ECB
• Padding Oracle Attack

What to do instead (choose one):

• Use Laravel's encryption features, since you're already using Laravel.
• Use libsodium (highly recommended)
• Use Defuse Security's PHP Encryption class
• When Halite hits 1.0.0, switch to that (it's basically libsodium for novices)

turns out i with a little tinkering and help from João Mendes i had the code like this

public function view()
{
    $title = "View Guardian Information";
    $vPa   = DB::table('dbo_guardianinformation')
                ->join('dbo_cities', 'dbo_guardianinformation.CityID', '=' , 'dbo_cities.CityID')
                ->select('dbo_guardianinformation.ParentAccountID','dbo_guardianinformation.FirstName','dbo_guardianinformation.LastName','dbo_guardianinformation.Roles',
                        'dbo_guardianinformation.Address','dbo_cities.CityName','dbo_guardianinformation.Status','dbo_guardianinformation.EmailAddress')
                ->get();

    foreach ($vPa as $key => $dvPa) 
    {
        $sptkey  = md5('this is secret');
        $enAdd = $dvPa->Address;
        $decAdd = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $sptkey, base64_decode($enAdd), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB));

        $dvPa->Address = $decAdd;   
    }
    return View::make('ssims.view_parentAccount',compact('title','vPa'));
}
