🔒 Security is non-negotiable, and with DaggerX V2, we're taking it to the next level. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, DaggerX simplifies secure data handling while offering top-notch protection.

🚀 What is DaggerX?
DaggerX is an open-source PHP library designed to provide ultra-secure password hashing and encryption. It leverages the latest security standards to keep your sensitive data safe.

⚡ What’s New in V2?
✅ Session-Based Unique IDs — Adds session entropy for even stronger randomness.
✅ Dynamic Key Derivation — Replaces static pepper with a session-based derived key.
✅ Improved Hashing Parameters —

Memory Cost increased to 128 MB (vs. 64 MB in V1) for greater resistance to brute force.
Time Cost increased to 5 iterations (vs. 4 in V1) for slower, more secure hashing.
Threads increased to 4 (vs. 2 in V1) for better parallelism.
✅ Enhanced Encryption —
Uses AES-256-GCM with dynamic encryption salt.
More secure key derivation with SHA3-512.
✅ Automatic Session Initialization —
Ensures consistent security by starting a session when the class is loaded.
✅ Performance Optimization:

Hashing and encryption are now significantly faster with optimized algorithms.

Improved memory efficiency for better performance on large-scale applications.

✅ Enhanced Security:

Stronger Argon2id Parameters — Increased resistance to brute-force and side-channel attacks.

Improved SHA3-512 Peppering — Provides a more secure and unique hash each time.

Better Randomness — Ensures that salts and IVs are truly unpredictable.

✅ Developer-Friendly Enhancements:

Cleaner syntax with improved error handling.

Comprehensive Documentation for faster integration.

Backward Compatibility — V2 works alongside V1 with minimal adjustments.

✅ Stronger Encryption:

AES-256-GCM — Now with enhanced key derivation for better key management.

Developer-Specific Keys — Even the DaggerX team can’t decrypt your data.

✅ Bug Fixes:

Resolved minor inconsistencies from V1.

Optimized for better stability under high workloads.

🔑 Key Security Features
Argon2id for memory-hard password hashing.

SHA3-512 Peppering — Adds an extra layer of security.

AES-256-GCM for secure message encryption.

Developer-Specific Keys — Even the DaggerX team can't decrypt your data.

✅ Why DaggerX V2?
🔒 Ultra-Secure: Combines hashing algorithms with an additional developer key for rock-solid security.
⚡ Blazing Fast: Optimized for performance with lower latency.
🛠️ Easy to Use: Clean, simple-to-implement functions for hashing and encryption.
💻 Open Source: Completely free to use, modify, and contribute.

🏗️ How It Works
🔐 Password Hashing:
Mixes the password with a developer key and random salt.

Hashes using SHA3-512, then Argon2id for maximum security.

🔏 Message Encryption:
Encrypts sensitive data using AES-256-GCM.

Ensures data integrity with secure IV and authentication tags.

🌟 Why Should You Care?
We know there are other libraries out there — but why stick with the ordinary when you can have extraordinary?
DaggerX V2 adds that extra layer of security by encouraging best practices with minimal complexity.

🔨 What’s Next?
Security never stands still, and neither do we.
As security threats evolve, DaggerX will continue to roll out updates to keep your applications protected. 🛡️
