Dear group, I'm writing an app in CakePHP and need to encrypt highly sensitive information in one part of the app. I know that no encryption plan is absolutely bulletproof, but I've used PHP's mcrypt function in the past with satisfactory results.
In CakePHP I noticed the cipher() function as part of the Security class. At first glance however, I wasn't able to discern what type of encryption scheme is being used. My question is this: How does CakePHP's cipher() function stack up against something like mcrypt()? Is it of a similar level of security? Can I sleep safely at night knowing that cipher() is going to be as strong as, say, MCRYPT_BLOWFISH?
