Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

Setup

• Add this file to application/libraries (or, if you are already extending the Validator class, add the contents there).
• Remove Validator alias from config/application.php in order to avoid conflicts.
• Add "required_if_attribute" => "The :attribute field is required." to application/language/[language]/validation.php.

Usage

Define the rule using:

required_if_attribute:[field],[operator],[value]
