The size of the initialization vector (iv) will be returned in bytes NOT bits, something to keep in mind specially if the iv is passed together appended or prepended with the encrypted data for decryption
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5, PHP 7 < 7.2.0, PECL mcrypt >= 1.0.0)
mcrypt_get_iv_size — Returns the size of the IV belonging to a specific cipher/mode combination
Esta função tornou-se DEFASADA a partir do PHP 7.1.0 e foi REMOVIDA a partir do PHP 7.2.0. O uso desta função é fortemente desencorajado.
Gets the size of the IV belonging to a specific
cipher
/mode
combination.
It is more useful to use the mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size() function as this uses the resource returned by mcrypt_module_open().
cipher
Uma das constantes MCRYPT_nome_da_cifra
ou o nome do algoritmo como string.
mode
Uma das constantes MCRYPT_MODE_nome_do_modo
ou uma das seguintes strings: "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" ou "stream".
The IV is ignored in ECB mode as this mode does not require it. You will need to have the same IV (think: starting point) both at encryption and decryption stages, otherwise your encryption will fail.
Returns the size of the Initialization Vector (IV) in bytes. On error the
function returns false
. If the IV is ignored in the specified cipher/mode
combination zero is returned.
Exemplo #1 mcrypt_get_iv_size() Example
<?php
echo mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_CAST_256, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB) . "\n";
echo mcrypt_get_iv_size('des', 'ecb') . "\n";
?>
The size of the initialization vector (iv) will be returned in bytes NOT bits, something to keep in mind specially if the iv is passed together appended or prepended with the encrypted data for decryption
