CoreySecurity

Corey Security Suite

The CoreySecurity class is a robust, zero-dependency cryptographic and identity toolkit designed for modern PHP applications. Rather than scattering security logic across multiple helpers, this class unifies secure generation, safe hashing, and password analysis into a single, cohesive engine.

Usage

$sec = new CoreySecurity(array $userConfig);

Parameters

userConfig : An array of initial configuration options; alternatively, use setConfig() to update these values later.

Public Methods

Config

The following methods are used to set configuration options.

• loadCustomBlacklist - Add words to the leet-speak blacklist

Structure

The following methods manage global configuration states.

• getAlgorithm - Retrieves active hashing algorithm
• listAlgorithms - List available hashing algorithms
• setAlgorithm - Sets the active hashing algorithm

Generators

The following methods generate secure, highly complex, unpredictable, high-entropy raw data.

• credentialGen - Generates credentials including password, salt, hashed(salt + password), and algorithm used
• idGen - ID generator
• passGen - Generates a secure password
• saltGen - Generates a secure salt string

Hashing

The following methods handle the secure storage and verification of sensitive data.

• hash - Generates a hash of a single string value
• passHash - Creates a password hash by combining a password with a salt

Metrics

The following methods provide analytical intelligence, evaluating the quality of input data.

• passEntropy - Calculates the entropy of a given password
• passStrength - Evaluates the security strength of a given password

Internal Methods

The following methods are either private or protected. They are documented here for developers who wish to extend this class.

Inspectors

• algorithmExists - Verify hashing algorithm
• passCheck - Evaluates a generated password

Helpers

• errorHash - Generates random error_ hex string
• getSymbols - Returns password generation symbols list
• passCodeMsg - Descriptive message for password attribute score
• scoreStrength - Format a score
• validatePool - Validates password character pool

Public Properties

Variable	Description	Example
algo	The currently selected hashing algorithm.	$sec->algo
