Err…. like the question says.
How do I go about encrypting and then decrypting data that is being stored and retrieved from the database.
By the way it’s not just for storing a password which has been md5ed, I need to retrieve the data too.
Thanks!
I’d do this in the various before methods in my models, or better still create a before method in my app controller which encrypted and decrypted data.
Would be the methods that I would choose.
PS, I should mention Behaviours here also really, as that’s the ideal ‘Cake way’ to achieve this kind of thing, http://book.cakephp.org/view/595/Creating-Behaviors
