With sensitive data, use `sodium_bin2base64()` and `sodium_base642bin()` than `base64_encode()` and `base64_decode()`.
The sodium functions provide better protection against side channels, are more flexible, and perform stricter validation.

## Encrypt a file using a secret key
<?php
$secret_key = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_keygen();
$input_file = '/tmp/example.original';
$encrypted_file = '/tmp/example.enc';
$chunk_size = 4096;
$fd_in = fopen($input_file, 'rb');
$fd_out = fopen($encrypted_file, 'wb');
list($stream, $header) = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_push($secret_key);
fwrite($fd_out, $header);
$tag = SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_MESSAGE;
do {
$chunk = fread($fd_in, $chunk_size);
if (stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] <= 0) {
$tag = SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_FINAL;
}
$encrypted_chunk = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_push($stream, $chunk, '', $tag);
fwrite($fd_out, $encrypted_chunk);
} while ($tag !== SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_FINAL);
fclose($fd_out);
fclose($fd_in);
?>
Decrypt the file:
<?php
$decrypted_file = '/tmp/example.dec';
$fd_in = fopen($encrypted_file, 'rb');
$fd_out = fopen($decrypted_file, 'wb');
$header = fread($fd_in, SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_HEADERBYTES);
$stream = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_pull($header, $secret_key);
$tag = SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_MESSAGE;
while (stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] > 0 &&
$tag !== SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_FINAL) {
$chunk = fread($fd_in, $chunk_size + SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_ABYTES);
list($decrypted_chunk, $tag) = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_pull($stream, $chunk);
fwrite($fd_out, $decrypted_chunk);
}
$ok = stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] <= 0;
fclose($fd_out);
fclose($fd_in);
if (!$ok) {
die('Invalid/corrupted input');
}
?>
How it works:
There's a little bit more code than in the previous examples.
In fact, `crypto_secretbox()` would work to encrypt as file, but only
if that file is pretty small. Since we have to provide the entire
content as a string, it has to fit in memory.
If the file is large, we can split it into small chunks, and encrypt
chunks individually.
By doing do, we can encrypt arbitrary large files. But we need to make
sure that chunks cannot be deleted, truncated, duplicated and
reordered. In other words, we don't have a single "message", but a
stream of messages, and during the decryption process, we need a way
to check that the whole stream matches what we encrypted.
So we create a new stream (`init_push`) and push a sequence of messages
into it (`push`). Each individual message has a tag attached to it, by
default `TAG_MESSAGE`. In order for the decryption process to know
where the end of the stream is, we tag the last message with the
`TAG_FINAL` tag.
When we consume the stream (`init_pull`, then `pull` for each
message), we check that they can be properly decrypted, and retrieve
both the decrypted chunks and the attached tags. If we read the last
chunk (`TAG_FINAL`) and we are at the end of the file, we know that we
completely recovered the original stream.

Clearly there isn't much support or documentation for this yet.
Based off the same safeEncrypt implementation here and elsewhere, I updated it to work for me (I'm running libsodium 1.0.8).
I added these methods to a utility class.
<?php
// simple example
$message = 'My ultra-sensitive information';
$secret_key = Util::generateSecretKey();
$encrypted = Util::encrypt($message, $secret_key, 64);
$decrypted = Util::decrypt($encrypted, $secret_key, 64);
print $decrypted;
// outputs 'My ultra-sensitive information'
// encrypted data is padded to 64-byte chunks to obfuscate actual data length
class Util
{
/**
* Get a secret key for encrypt/decrypt
*
* Use libsodium to generate a secret key. This should be kept secure.
*
* @return string
* @see encrypt(), decrypt()
*/
public static function generateSecretKey()
{
return sodium_crypto_secretbox_keygen();
}

public static function encrypt($message, $secret_key, $block_size = 1)
{
// create a nonce for this operation. it will be stored and recovered in the message itself
$nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES);
// pad to $block_size byte chunks (enforce 512 byte limit)
$padded_message = sodium_pad($message, $block_size <= 512 ? $block_size : 512);
// encrypt message and combine with nonce
$cipher = base64_encode($nonce . sodium_crypto_secretbox($padded_message, $nonce, $secret_key));
// cleanup
sodium_memzero($message);
sodium_memzero($secret_key);
return $cipher;
}

$nonce = mb_substr($decoded, 0, SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES, '8bit');

// decrypt it and account for extra padding from $block_size (enforce 512 byte limit)

## Encrypt a single message using a secret key
Encryption:
```php
$secret_key = sodium_crypto_secretbox_keygen();
$message = 'Sensitive information';
$nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES);
$encrypted_message = sodium_crypto_secretbox($message, $nonce, $secret_key);
```
Decryption:
```php
$decrypted_message = sodium_crypto_secretbox_open($encrypted_message, $nonce, $secret_key);
```
How it works:
`$secret_key` is a secret key. Not a password. It's binary data, not
something designed to be human readable, but rather to have a key
space as large as possible for a given length.
The `keygen()` function creates such a key. That has to remain secret,
as it is used both to encrypt and decrypt data.
`$nonce` is a unique value. Like the secret, its length is fixed. But
it doesn't have to be secret, and can be sent along with the encrypted
message. The nonce doesn't have to be unpredicable either. It just has
to be unique for a given key. With the `secretbox()` API, using
`random_bytes()` is a totally fine way to generate nonces.
Encrypted messages are slightly larger than unencrypted messages,
because they include an authenticator, used by the decryption function
to check that the content was not altered.
## Encrypt a single message using a secret key, and hide its length
Encryption:
```php
$secret_key = sodium_crypto_secretbox_keygen();
$message = 'Sensitive information';
$block_size = 16;
$nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES);
$padded_message = sodium_pad($padded_message, $block_size);
$encrypted_message = sodium_crypto_secretbox($padded_message, $nonce, $secret_key);
```
Decryption:
```php
$decrypted_padded_message = sodium_crypto_secretbox_open($encrypted_message, $nonce, $secret_key);
$decrypted_message = sodium_unpad($decrypted_padded_message, $block_size);
```
How it works:
Sometimes, the length of a message may provide a lot of information
about its nature. If a message is one of "yes", "no" and "maybe",
encrypting the message doesn't help: knowing the length is enough to
know what the message is.
Padding is a technique to mitigate this, by making the length a
multiple of a given block size.
Messages must be padded prior to encryption, and unpadded after
decryption.

When using the stream_get_meta_data() function, the manual states not to use the value of 'unread_bytes' in a script, which lead to a non functioning script in my environment. I guess you'd rather use the value of 'eof'. Or, even better, use the feof() function.

You may want to use `feof($fd_in)` instead of `stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] <= 0` in the examples above.
Or just read the documentation of the PHP extension here: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-php -- it is always more up to date.

## Encrypt a file using a key derived from a password:
<?php
$password = 'password';
$input_file = '/tmp/example.original';
$encrypted_file = '/tmp/example.enc';
$chunk_size = 4096;
$alg = SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_ALG_DEFAULT;
$opslimit = SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_OPSLIMIT_MODERATE;
$memlimit = SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_MEMLIMIT_MODERATE;
$salt = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_SALTBYTES);
$secret_key = sodium_crypto_pwhash(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_KEYBYTES,
$password, $salt, $opslimit, $memlimit, $alg);
$fd_in = fopen($input_file, 'rb');
$fd_out = fopen($encrypted_file, 'wb');
fwrite($fd_out, pack('C', $alg));
fwrite($fd_out, pack('P', $opslimit));
fwrite($fd_out, pack('P', $memlimit));
fwrite($fd_out, $salt);
list($stream, $header) = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_push($secret_key);
fwrite($fd_out, $header);
$tag = SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_MESSAGE;
do {
$chunk = fread($fd_in, $chunk_size);
if (stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] <= 0) {
$tag = SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_FINAL;
}
$encrypted_chunk = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_push($stream, $chunk, '', $tag);
fwrite($fd_out, $encrypted_chunk);
} while ($tag !== SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_FINAL);
fclose($fd_out);
fclose($fd_in);
?>
Read the stored parameters and decrypt the file:
<?php
$decrypted_file = '/tmp/example.dec';
$fd_in = fopen($encrypted_file, 'rb');
$fd_out = fopen($decrypted_file, 'wb');
$alg = unpack('C', fread($fd_in, 1))[1];
$opslimit = unpack('P', fread($fd_in, 8))[1];
$memlimit = unpack('P', fread($fd_in, 8))[1];
$salt = fread($fd_in, SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_SALTBYTES);
$header = fread($fd_in, SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_HEADERBYTES);
$secret_key = sodium_crypto_pwhash(SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_KEYBYTES,
$password, $salt, $opslimit, $memlimit, $alg);
$stream = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_pull($header, $secret_key);
$tag = SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_MESSAGE;
while (stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] > 0 &&
$tag !== SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_TAG_FINAL) {
$chunk = fread($fd_in, $chunk_size + SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETSTREAM_XCHACHA20POLY1305_ABYTES);
$res = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_pull($stream, $chunk);
if ($res === FALSE) {
break;
}
list($decrypted_chunk, $tag) = $res;
fwrite($fd_out, $decrypted_chunk);
}
$ok = stream_get_meta_data($fd_in)['unread_bytes'] <= 0;
fclose($fd_out);
fclose($fd_in);
if (!$ok) {
die('Invalid/corrupted input');
}
?>
How it works:
A password cannot be directly used as a secret key. Passwords are
short, must be typable on a keyboard, and people who don't use a
password manager should be able to remember them.
A 8 characters password is thus way weaker than a 8 bytes key.
The `sodium_crypto_pwhash()` function perform a computationally
intensive operation on a password in order to derive a secret key.
By doing do, brute-forcing all possible passwords in order to find the
secret key used to encrypt the data becomes an expensive operation.
Multiple algorithms can be used to derive a key from a password, and
for each of them, different parameters can be chosen. It is important
to store all of these along with encrypted data. Using the same
algorithm and the same parameters, the same secret key can be
deterministically recomputed.
