It is the secret “ingredient” in the whole +process that allows you to be the only one who is able to decrypt data +that you’ve decided to hide from the eyes of the public. +After one key is used to encrypt data, that same key provides the <strong>only</strong> +means to decrypt it, so not only must you chose one carefully, but you +must not lose it or you will also lose access to the data.</p> +<p>It must be noted that to ensure maximum security, such key <em>should</em> not +only be as strong as possible, but also often changed. Such behavior +however is rarely practical or possible to implement, and that is why +CodeIgniter gives you the ability to configure a single key that is to be +used (almost) every time.</p> +<p>It goes without saying that you should guard your key carefully. Should +someone gain access to your key, the data will be easily decrypted. If +your server is not totally under your control it’s impossible to ensure +key security so you may want to think carefully before using it for +anything that requires high security, like storing credit card numbers.</p> +<p>Your encryption key <strong>must</strong> be as long as the encyption algorithm in use +allows.
