AdonisJs v7.0.0-next.25 has been released.

Adds a new legacy encryption driver that maintains compatibility with the AdonisJS v6 encryption format.

Usage:
import { defineConfig, drivers } from '@adonisjs/core/encryption'

export default defineConfig({
  default: 'legacy',
  list: {
    legacy: drivers.legacy({
      keys: [env.get('APP_KEY')],
    }),
  },
})
Migration path:

Use this driver to decrypt existing encrypted values from AdonisJS v6, then re-encrypt them with a modern driver (aes256gcm recommended) for improved security.
