[FIXED] undefined method Cake\Utility\Security::cipher()

Issue

I am trying to create users management modal. I am using this code

      $encryptKey = 'ab12333way2code';
      $secret = Security::cipher('StringToEncrypt', $encryptKey);

But it's showing the following Fatal error

Solution

The method has been removed in CakePHP 3.0

Security::cipher() has been removed. It is insecure and promoted bad cryptographic practices. You should use Security::encrypt() instead.
