openssl_cipher_iv_lengthGets the cipher iv length

Descrição

openssl_cipher_iv_length(string $cipher_algo): int|false

Gets the cipher initialization vector (iv) length.

Parâmetros

The cipher method, see openssl_get_cipher_methods() for a list of potential values.

Valor Retornado

Returns the cipher length on success, or false on failure.

The return value is a length in bytes. (Not bits, or anything else.)

<?php
$ciphers

//ECB mode should be avoided
$ciphers = array_filter($ciphers, function ($n) {
return
stripos($n, "ecb") === FALSE;

// At least as early as Aug 2016, Openssl declared the following weak: RC2, RC4, DES, 3DES, MD5 based
$ciphers = array_filter($ciphers, function ($c) {

Will be...
AES-xxx-xxx is 16
BF-xxx is 8
CAMELLIA-xxx is 16
CAST5-xxx is 8
IDEA-xxx is 8
SEED-xxx is 16

lower case:
aes-xxx-xxx are mixed between 16 and 12.
id-aes-xxx are mixed between 12 and 8.
The values above are tested with PHP 5.5 - 5.6 on Windows. In PHP 7.x is different than this.
