Description :
This module protects users email address, encrypting them into the database. This module doesn't alter user experience.
In case of database hacking, this sensitive data would be useless for the hacker.
It uses the AES module API, providing the encryption method.
Easy to use :
- install the DataBase Email Encryption (dbee) module : the encryption will be enabled for all users email address.
- Uninstall it or disable it : it will disable the users email address encryption for all users email address.
This module add a new field in the user view page, expliciting if the email address is effectively crypted or empty. Only users with "administer database email encryption" permission are able to see it.
This module provide an extra features : Allow to loggin using either the username or the email address. It is disabled by default.
Why this module was created :
Several big companies were victims of database hacking, each successfully attacks exposing millions emails and personnal datas.
What is the difference between this module and others like :
Those modules provide methods to hide email addresses from spam-bots.
Those modules provide methods to determine if the author is either a human people or a spam-bot.
The DataBase Email Encryption provide protection for the users email address from an other kind of attack : the database stealing.
Where is the drupal 7 version ?
It's not available yet and there is no timetable for it by now. Tell me if you are interested as I could speed up its release.
I have spent time making this module better and better. I hope it will make the world wide web securer !
