Encryp Image to later read in view

Please go back to your original question and format your code by putting 3 backticks ``` on a line before and after each code block

You need to store the file with a filename that you can reconstruct (or just store the filename)

This problem has nothing to do with encryption.

There are hundreds of image upload tutorials out there. Start with one of these, then add encryption when you are happy you know how uploading files works.

Already know how to upload the images. i was able to encrypt the images is the way to read it that can't find a way to put just the name of the file.

I'm able to upload images to the storage. Made a link to the public folder. the name is encrypted but i am able to see the picture when i use the Image tag

Try this

Already know how to upload the images.

Not sure what you want help with then?

If you must encrypt the image file, then you must decrypt it and stream it to the client rather than letting the client get it direct. I don't see the point in encrypting the filename?

The images are sensitive since the have information of the users. I thought in order to protect the data I need to encrypted the file and decrypted when the authentic user is log in.

Check https://stefanzweifel.io/posts/how-to-encrypt-file-uploads-with-laravel/

as for the filename, just give it a uuid and store it in the database. I don't see any point in keeping the original name, although you might want the file extension. Certainly no point in encrypting the filename.

Will give it a go.

In the example shown below, all uploaded images are encrypted using a file type input field, the file name is a unique hash depending on the content of the image, this guarantees that there will be no duplicate files.

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate(
        [
            'name'          => 'required|max:100|min:4',
            'nationality'   => 'required|max:50',
            'pictures'      => 'required'
        ]
    );

    $images = $request->file('pictures');
    $allowedfileExtension = ['jpg','png','gif','jpeg','webp'];

    foreach($images as $image)
    {
        $extension    = $image->extension();
        $hash         = hash('md5', $image->get());
        $filename     = "$hash.$extension";
        $filesize     = $image->getSize() / 1024; // Filesize in MegaBytes
        $originalName = $image->getClientOriginalName();

        if( !in_array($extension,$allowedfileExtension) )
            throw ValidationException::withMessages(['pictures' => "The File: '$originalName' extension is invalid"]);

        $encryptedImageBytes = Crypt::encryptString($image->get());
        Storage::put("/public/directory/$filename", $encryptedImageBytes);
    }
    return redirect()->back();
}

then to get the content of the image do this:

public function show()
{
    $model = Model::where('user',1)->first();
    $base = base64_encode(
        Crypt::decryptString(
            Storage::get('public/directory/$model->filename')
        )
    );    
    return view('pages.person.show')->with('base',$base);
}

Now to finish in the view it would be something like this:

<img src="data:image/png;base64, {{$base}}" alt="" style="width: 200px">
