Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/base/Security.php

Security provides a set of methods to handle common security-related tasks.

In particular, Security supports the following features:

Note: this class requires 'OpenSSL' PHP extension for random key/string generation on Windows and for encryption/decryption on all platforms. For the highest security level PHP version >= 5.5.0 is recommended.

For more details and usage information on Security, see the guide article on security.

$allowedCiphers public property

Look-up table of block sizes and key sizes for each supported OpenSSL cipher.

In each element, the key is one of the ciphers supported by OpenSSL (@see openssl_get_cipher_methods()). The value is an array of two integers, the first is the cipher's block size in bytes and the second is the key size in bytes.

Warning: All OpenSSL ciphers that we recommend are in the default value, i.e. AES in CBC mode.

Note: Yii's encryption protocol uses the same size for cipher key, HMAC signature key and key derivation salt.

public array[] $allowedCiphers = [
    
'AES-128-CBC' => [
        
16,
        
16,
    ],
    
'AES-192-CBC' => [
        
16,
        
24,
    ],
    
'AES-256-CBC' => [
        
16,
        
32,
    ],
]
$authKeyInfo public property

HKDF info value for derivation of message authentication key.

See also hkdf().

public string $authKeyInfo 'AuthorizationKey'
$cipher public property

The cipher to use for encryption and decryption.

public string $cipher 'AES-128-CBC'
$derivationIterations public property

Derivation iterations count. Set as high as possible to hinder dictionary password attacks.

$kdfHash public property

Hash algorithm for key derivation. Recommend sha256, sha384 or sha512.

See also hash_algos().

public string $kdfHash 'sha256'
$macHash public property

Hash algorithm for message authentication. Recommend sha256, sha384 or sha512.

See also hash_algos().

public string $macHash 'sha256'
$passwordHashCost public property (available since version 2.0.6)

Default cost used for password hashing. Allowed value is between 4 and 31.

See also generatePasswordHash().

$passwordHashStrategy public property
Deprecated since version 2.0.7, generatePasswordHash() ignores $passwordHashStrategy and uses password_hash() when available or crypt() when not.

Strategy, which should be used to generate password hash. Available strategies:

  • 'password_hash' - use of PHP password_hash() function with PASSWORD_DEFAULT algorithm. This option is recommended, but it requires PHP version >= 5.5.0
  • 'crypt' - use PHP crypt() function.

Method Details

Hide inherited methods

__call() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

This method will check if any attached behavior has the named method and will execute it if available.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

public mixed __call ( $name, $params )
$name string

The method name

$params array

Method parameters

return mixed

The method return value

throws yii\base\UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

                public function __call($name, $params)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $object) {
        if ($object->hasMethod($name)) {
            return call_user_func_array([$object, $name], $params);
        }
    }
    throw new UnknownMethodException('Calling unknown method: ' . get_class($this) . "::$name()");
}

            
__clone() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__clone()

This method is called after the object is created by cloning an existing one.

It removes all behaviors because they are attached to the old object.

public void __clone ( )

                public function __clone()
{
    $this->_events = [];
    $this->_eventWildcards = [];
    $this->_behaviors = null;
}

            
__construct() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__construct()

Constructor.

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call init().

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config array

Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

                public function __construct($config = [])
{
    if (!empty($config)) {
        Yii::configure($this, $config);
    }
    $this->init();
}

            
__get() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__get()

Returns the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a getter: return the getter result
  • a property of a behavior: return the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $component->property;.

See also __set().

public mixed __get ( $name )
$name string

The property name

return mixed

The property value or the value of a behavior's property

throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is write-only.

                public function __get($name)
{
    $getter = 'get' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
        // read property, e.g. getName()
        return $this->$getter();
    }
    // behavior property
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
        if ($behavior->canGetProperty($name)) {
            return $behavior->$name;
        }
    }
    if (method_exists($this, 'set' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Getting write-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
    throw new UnknownPropertyException('Getting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}

            
__isset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: return whether the property is set
  • a property of a behavior: return whether the property is set
  • return false for non existing properties

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($component->property).

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php.

public boolean __isset ( $name )
$name string

The property name or the event name

return boolean

Whether the named property is set

                public function __isset($name)
{
    $getter = 'get' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
        return $this->$getter() !== null;
    }
    // behavior property
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
        if ($behavior->canGetProperty($name)) {
            return $behavior->$name !== null;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

            
__set() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__set()

Sets the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: set the property value
  • an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
  • a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"
  • a property of a behavior: set the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $component->property = $value;.

See also __get().

public void __set ( $name, $value )
$name string

The property name or the event name

$value mixed

The property value

throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is read-only.

                public function __set($name, $value)
{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        // set property
        $this->$setter($value);
        return;
    } elseif (strncmp($name, 'on ', 3) === 0) {
        // on event: attach event handler
        $this->on(trim(substr($name, 3)), $value);
        return;
    } elseif (strncmp($name, 'as ', 3) === 0) {
        // as behavior: attach behavior
        $name = trim(substr($name, 3));
        $this->attachBehavior($name, $value instanceof Behavior ? $value : Yii::createObject($value));
        return;
    }
    // behavior property
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
        if ($behavior->canSetProperty($name)) {
            $behavior->$name = $value;
            return;
        }
    }
    if (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Setting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
    throw new UnknownPropertyException('Setting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}

            
__unset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__unset()

Sets a component property to be null.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: set the property value to be null
  • a property of a behavior: set the property value to be null

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($component->property).

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php.

public void __unset ( $name )
$name string

The property name

throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is read only.

                public function __unset($name)
{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        $this->$setter(null);
        return;
    }
    // behavior property
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
        if ($behavior->canSetProperty($name)) {
            $behavior->$name = null;
            return;
        }
    }
    throw new InvalidCallException('Unsetting an unknown or read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}

            
attachBehavior() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::attachBehavior()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

This method will create the behavior object based on the given configuration. After that, the behavior object will be attached to this component by calling the yii\base\Behavior::attach() method.

See also detachBehavior().

public yii\base\Behavior attachBehavior ( $name, $behavior )
$name string

The name of the behavior.

$behavior string|array|yii\base\Behavior

The behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

return yii\base\Behavior

The behavior object

                public function attachBehavior($name, $behavior)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    return $this->attachBehaviorInternal($name, $behavior);
}

            
attachBehaviors() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a yii\base\Behavior object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

See also attachBehavior().

public void attachBehaviors ( $behaviors )
$behaviors array

List of behaviors to be attached to the component

                public function attachBehaviors($behaviors)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($behaviors as $name => $behavior) {
        $this->attachBehaviorInternal($name, $behavior);
    }
}

            
behaviors() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from yii\base\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

public array behaviors ( )
return array

The behavior configurations.

                public function behaviors()
{
    return [];
}

            
canGetProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::canGetProperty()

encryptByKey() public method

Encrypts data using a cryptographic key.

Derives keys for encryption and authentication from the input key using HKDF and a random salt, which is very fast relative to encryptByPassword(). The input key must be properly random -- use generateRandomKey() to generate keys. The encrypted data includes a keyed message authentication code (MAC) so there is no need to hash input or output data.

See also:

public string encryptByKey ( $data, $inputKey, $info null )
$data string

The data to encrypt

$inputKey string

The input to use for encryption and authentication

$info string|null

Optional context and application specific information, see hkdf()

return string

The encrypted data as byte string

                public function encryptByKey($data, $inputKey, $info = null)
{
    return $this->encrypt($data, false, $inputKey, $info);
}

            
encryptByPassword() public method

Encrypts data using a password.

Derives keys for encryption and authentication from the password using PBKDF2 and a random salt, which is deliberately slow to protect against dictionary attacks. Use encryptByKey() to encrypt fast using a cryptographic key rather than a password. Key derivation time is determined by $derivationIterations, which should be set as high as possible. The encrypted data includes a keyed message authentication code (MAC) so there is no need to hash input or output data. > Note: Avoid encrypting with passwords wherever possible. Nothing can protect against poor-quality or compromised passwords.

        }
    }
}

            
generatePasswordHash() public method

Generates a secure hash from a password and a random salt.

The generated hash can be stored in database. Later when a password needs to be validated, the hash can be fetched and passed to validatePassword(). For example,

// generates the hash (usually done during user registration or when the password is changed)
$hash = Yii::$app->getSecurity()->generatePasswordHash($password);
// ...save $hash in database...

// during login, validate if the password entered is correct using $hash fetched from database
if (Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($password, $hash)) {
    // password is good
} else {
    // password is bad
}

See also validatePassword().

public string generatePasswordHash ( $password, $cost null )
$password string

The password to be hashed.

$cost integer|null

Cost parameter used by the Blowfish hash algorithm. The higher the value of cost, the longer it takes to generate the hash and to verify a password against it. Higher cost therefore slows down a brute-force attack. For best protection against brute-force attacks, set it to the highest value that is tolerable on production servers. The time taken to compute the hash doubles for every increment by one of $cost.

return string

The password hash string. When $passwordHashStrategy is set to 'crypt', the output is always 60 ASCII characters, when set to 'password_hash' the output length might increase in future versions of PHP (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php)

public void trigger ( $name, yii\base\Event $event null )
$name string

The event name

$event yii\base\Event|null

The event instance. If not set, a default yii\base\Event object will be created.

unmaskToken() public method (available since version 2.0.12)

Unmasks a token previously masked by maskToken.

public string unmaskToken ( $maskedToken )
$maskedToken string

A masked token.

return string

An unmasked token, or an empty string in case of token format is invalid.

validateData() public method

Validates if the given data is tampered.

See also hashData().

public string|false validateData ( $data, $key, $rawHash false )
$data string

The data to be validated. The data must be previously generated by hashData().

$key string

The secret key that was previously used to generate the hash for the data in hashData(). function to see the supported hashing algorithms on your system. This must be the same as the value passed to hashData() when generating the hash for the data.

$rawHash boolean

This should take the same value as when you generate the data using hashData(). It indicates whether the hash value in the data is in binary format. If false, it means the hash value consists of lowercase hex digits only. hex digits will be generated.

return string|false

The real data with the hash stripped off. False if the data is tampered.

throws yii\base\InvalidConfigException

when HMAC generation fails.
