Token

The Token generates and compares tokens.

composer require webiik/token

$token = new \Webiik\Token\Token();
$secureToken = $token->generate();
if ($token->compare('vuefjsdfk', $secureToken)) {
    // Tokens are equal
}

generate($strength = 16): string

generate() returns safe token. By default the token is 32 characters long. It throws Exception when it was not possible to generate safe token.

try {
    $token->generate();
} catch (Exception $exception) {
    // Unable to generate strong token
}

generateCheap($length = 32): string

generateCheap() returns cheap token. By default the token is 32 characters long. Cheap token is not safe, but is faster to generate.

$token->generateCheap();

compare(string $original, string $imprint): bool

compare() Compares two strings using the same time whether they're equal or not - Timing attack safe string comparison.

$token->compare('known-string', 'user-string');

Timing-attack safe comparison is slower than regular comparison.
