SmartField SDK for PHP

Decrypt SmartField encrypted data with PHP. Works with Laravel / Plain PHP. Tested on port 8888.

Installation

// openssl extension included in PHP

Initialize

$sf = new SmartField();
$sf->init();

This generates RSA-2048 keys locally. Keys are stored in .smartfield/ and never sent anywhere.

Decrypt

$password = $sf->decrypt($_POST['password']);

That's it. The encrypted payload from the browser is decrypted server-side. Only your server has the private key.

How It Works

Browser: SmartField encrypts user input with AES-256-GCM
Browser: AES key is wrapped with your server's RSA-2048 public key
Network: Encrypted payload sent to your PHP server
Server: RSA private key unwraps the AES key
Server: AES key decrypts the data
Server: Plaintext available only here

Frontend Setup

<script src="https://cdn.smartfield.dev/v1/smartfield.js"></script>

<smart-field type="password"
  encrypt-key="/api/sf-key"
  placeholder="password"></smart-field>

Encryption Details

Data encryption: AES-256-GCM (NIST SP 800-38D)
Key exchange: RSA-OAEP-2048 (NIST SP 800-56B)
Random generation: Cryptographically secure (Web Crypto API)
Payload format: Base64(JSON{v, iv, key, data})
New key per encryption: Forward secrecy per keystroke
