Encrypt gateway configs stored in database

To encrypt (and later decrypt) sensitive configuration details (like payment provider credentials) we have to do three things:

• Make sure model implements CryptedInterface. The GatewayConfig class already does it.

• Create a cypher instance.

• Wrap the storage into CryptoStorageDecorator decorator.

First, we have to install an encryption library defuse/php-encryption

$ composer require defuse/php-encryption:^2

Once the library is installed we can configure a storage:

<?php
namespace Acme;

use Payum\Core\Storage\CryptoStorageDecorator;
use Payum\Core\PayumBuilder;
use Payum\Core\Payum;

/** @var \Payum\Core\Storage\StorageInterface $realStorage */

// the secret has to be stored somewhere and used for all future usages.
$secret = \Defuse\Crypto\Key::createNewRandomKey()->saveToAsciiSafeString();
$cypher = new \Payum\Core\Bridge\Defuse\Security\DefuseCypher($secret);

$gatewayConfigStorage = new CryptoStorageDecorator($realStorage, $cypher);

/** @var Payum $payum */
$payum = (new PayumBuilder())
    ->setGatewayConfigStorage($gatewayConfigStorage)

    ->getPayum()
;
