I am developing website and I am doing my best to ensure that I have a good security system. I am going to tell you what I have done and I have also another question about this system.
1) I am using sha512 method to hash password.salt and save it in database
2) my salt is generating randomly and every salt is unique, I am using this methods (developed in Yii framework)
class Random extends CApplicationComponent
{
public static function intRandom($min, $max)
{
$bits = '';
$diff = $max-$min;
$bytes = ceil($diff/256);
$fp = @fopen('/dev/urandom','rb');
if ($fp !== FALSE) {
$bits .= @fread($fp,$bytes);
@fclose($fp);
}
$bitlength = strlen($bits);
for ($i = 0; $i < $bitlength; $i++) {
$int = 1+(ord($bits[$i]) % (($max-$min)+1));
}
return $int;
}
public static function strRandom($length) {
$chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()_-+=|]}[{;:?.,></";
$size = strlen( $chars );
for( $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++ ) {
$str .= $chars[ self::intRandom(0, strlen($chars)-1) ];
}
return $str;
}
}
3) after user loges in I am generating new salt and hashing password.new_salt (of course every salt must be unique)
while ($record2 !== null){
$salt = Random::strRandom(32);
$record2 = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('salt'=>$salt));
}
$record->salt = $salt;
$record->password = hash('sha512', $this->password.$salt);
$record->save;
4) now it is time to save salt in database, and I am using Rijndael two way crypting method for it. mc_key is located in php file and every month I am replacing it.
function mc_encrypt($encrypt, $mc_key) {
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$passcrypt = trim(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $mc_key, trim($encrypt), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv));
$encode = base64_encode($passcrypt);
return $encode;
}
// Decrypt Function
function mc_decrypt($decrypt, $mc_key) {
$decoded = base64_decode($decrypt);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$decrypted = trim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $mc_key, trim($decoded), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv));
return $decrypted;
}
So, What do you think? Is it enough or should I use something more?
I think, I made nightmare for hacker, or I am just another stupid programmer who is trying to create another bicycle.
One issue is that plain SHA512 is fast. You should use a slower method, such as bcrypt
And intRandom
sucks. If I understand it correctly
/dev/urandom
is absent, instead of dying loudly.$max-$min>=256
looks completely broken.$min != 1
is broken
