I have a website that uses mysql database, as well as amazon S3. Currently, I have all the passwords and info for the database and for the S3, just written down in php files.
I was thinking, since I am not the only developer working on the project, it would be great to encode sensitive data somehow, so it is hidden in files, and hidden for anyone other accessing the files through ftp or cpanel.
I have no idea where to start looking for the answer to this. Is it even possible? There may be some kind of third party, that can encode everything, but I just don't know yet.
Please if anyone has some ideas, or has any experience with this kinda stuff, share your knowledge with me and anyone having the same issue.
