PhP encrypted enough?

Question

is php encrypted enough to store personal datas or it is possible to unencrypte data by some hackers or government agencies?

Answer 1

PHP itself is not encrypted (usually, although you can obfuscate code, or have an engine that encrypts / decrypts the code to the server), however I don't think you're referring to that.

Any server-side programming language, can use different types of encryption for data, the programming language itself is not the issue, but the encryption methods used.

Some encryption is done via HTTPS too.

I'm no cyber security expert though! It's just my personal understanding, and as ever, I'm happy to get feedback from others on all of this.

Answer 2

Coding languages aren't encrypted. Or we couldn't code in them. You can encrypt the data you store or transmit though and there are many methods for doing that. Some more secure than others.

But let me offer this. There is no such thing as secure data. Any encryption can be broken given enough time, resources, or determination. If someone wants your data bad enough they will get it. The end. That goes for banks, Google, governments, everyone. That is just a fact of cyber security.

The point of security and encryption is to make it more difficult than it is worth to all but the most determined actors.

Just assume that government agencies posses the tools and compute power to break your encryption. Either brute force or back doors in the encryption seed generators.

Answer 3

I think it is not that much enough

Answer 4

You can encrypted data with php
