For a complete list of supported ciphers, see the defines at the end of <var class="filename">mcrypt.h</var>. The general rule with the mcrypt-2.2.x API is that you can access the cipher from PHP with MCRYPT_ciphername. With the libmcrypt-2.4.x and libmcrypt-2.5.x API these constants also work, but it is possible to specify the name of the cipher as a string with a call to <span class="function"><a href="function.mcrypt-module-open.html" class="function">mcrypt_module_open()</a></span>. <ul class="itemizedlist"> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_3DES</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_ARCFOUR_IV (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_ARCFOUR (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_BLOWFISH</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_CAST_128</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_CAST_256</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_CRYPT</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_DES</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_DES_COMPAT (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_ENIGMA (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only, alias for MCRYPT_CRYPT)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_GOST</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_IDEA (non-free)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_LOKI97 (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_MARS (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only, non-free)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_PANAMA (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_192 (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RC2</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RC4 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RC6 (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RC6_128 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RC6_192 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_RC6_256 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SAFER64</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SAFER128</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SAFERPLUS (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SERPENT(libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SERPENT_128 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SERPENT_192 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SERPENT_256 (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_SKIPJACK (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_TEAN (libmcrypt 2.2.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_THREEWAY</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_TWOFISH (for older mcrypt 2.x versions, or mcrypt > 2.4.x )</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_TWOFISH128 (TWOFISHxxx are available in newer 2.x versions, but not in the 2.4.x versions)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_TWOFISH192</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_TWOFISH256</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_WAKE (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> <li class="listitem"><span class="simpara">MCRYPT_XTEA (libmcrypt > 2.4.x only)</span></li> </ul> </p> <p class="para"> You must (in <strong><code>CFB</code></strong> and <strong><code>OFB</code></strong> mode) or can (in <strong><code>CBC</code></strong> mode) supply an initialization vector (IV) to the respective cipher function. The IV must be unique and must be the same when decrypting/encrypting. With data which is stored encrypted, you can take the output of a function of the index under which the data is stored (e.g. the MD5 key of the filename). Alternatively, you can transmit the IV together with the encrypted data (see chapter 9.3 of Applied Cryptography by Schneier (ISBN 0-471-11709-9) for a discussion of this topic). </p> </div> <hr /><div class="manualnavbar" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="prev" style="text-align: left; float: left;"><a href="mcrypt.constants.html">Predefined Constants</a></div> <div class="next" style="text-align: right; float: right;"><a href="mcrypt.examples.html">Examples</a></div> <div class="up"><a href="book.mcrypt.html">Mcrypt</a></div> <div class="home"><a href="index.html">PHP Manual</a></div> </div></body></html>
