# PSR Clock

This repository holds the interface for [PSR-20][psr-url].

Note that this is not a clock of its own. It is merely an interface that
describes a clock. See the specification for more details.

## Installation

```bash
composer require psr/clock
```

## Usage

If you need a clock, you can use the interface like this:

```php
<?php

use Psr\Clock\ClockInterface;

class Foo
{
    private ClockInterface $clock;

    public function __construct(ClockInterface $clock)
    {
        $this->clock = $clock;
    }

    public function doSomething()
    {
        /** @var DateTimeImmutable $currentDateAndTime */
        $currentDateAndTime = $this->clock->now();
        // do something useful with that information
    }
}
```

You can then pick one of the [implementations][implementation-url] of the interface to get a clock.

If you want to implement the interface, you can require this package and
implement `Psr\Clock\ClockInterface` in your code. 

Don't forget to add `psr/clock-implementation` to your `composer.json`s `provides`-section like this:

```json
{
  "provides": {
    "psr/clock-implementation": "1.0"
  }
}
```

And please read the [specification text][specification-url] for details on the interface.

Enhancing Payment Security: The Role of Encryption and Tokenization in Digital Transactions

As digital transactions proliferate, ensuring robust payment security is more critical than ever. Two foundational technologies that are pivotal in this effort are encryption and tokenization.
Encryption is a process that transforms data into a secure format, known as ciphertext, which can only be deciphered using a specific decryption key. This means that even if data is intercepted during transmission, it remains unreadable and protected from unauthorized access. Encryption is essential in safeguarding sensitive payment information, such as credit card details and personal data, during online transactions.
Tokenization, on the other hand, involves substituting sensitive data with unique identifiers or "tokens." These tokens serve as placeholders and have no value outside of the specific transaction context. If intercepted, tokens are meaningless and cannot be used to access the original sensitive data. This method significantly reduces the risk of fraud and data breaches, as the actual payment information is not stored or transmitted.
Together, encryption and tokenization form a powerful security framework. Encryption ensures that data is protected during transmission, while tokenization minimizes the risk of exposing sensitive information by replacing it with secure, non-sensitive tokens.
These technologies are integral to modern payment platforms, providing a robust defense against cyber threats. By implementing advanced encryption and tokenization techniques, businesses can enhance the security of digital transactions, ensuring that users' financial and personal information remains safe. This comprehensive approach not only builds user trust but also fortifies the overall security infrastructure of digital payment systems. As cyber threats evolve, the continued advancement of encryption and tokenization will be crucial in maintaining secure and reliable payment processes.
