How can I encrypt and decrypt an ID

How can I encrypt and decrypt an ID in a URL like http://localhost:4444/admin/users/1/edit for enhanced security, ensuring that the ID is not directly exposed?

thank you, I've tried this before, I understand how to use it, only I use the shield plugin, there are lots of ID relationships to users. I'm confused about using it.

It should be possible with Shield if memory serves, it's just changing a few to be more string based opposed to auto-incremementing integers

I can't use the ID because in the shield, the ID must be set as the default, but as far as I know, UUIDs shouldn't be set as default.

You need to use a UUID trait to set a default on the usermodel. i.,e. 
<?php

namespace App\Traits;

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

trait UUID
{
    protected static function boot()
    {
        // Boot other traits on the Model
        parent::boot();

        /**
         * Listen for the creating event on the user model.
         * Sets the 'id' to a UUID using Str::uuid() on the instance being created
         */
        static::creating(function ($model) {
            if ($model->getKey() === null) {
                $model->setAttribute($model->getKeyName(), Str::uuid()->toString());
            }
        });
    }

    // Tells the database not to auto-increment this field
    public function getIncrementing()
    {
        return false;
    }

    // Helps the application specify the field type in the database
    public function getKeyType()
    {
        return 'string';
    }
}
<?php

namespace App\Traits;

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

trait UUID
{
    protected static function boot()
    {
        // Boot other traits on the Model
        parent::boot();

        /**
         * Listen for the creating event on the user model.
         * Sets the 'id' to a UUID using Str::uuid() on the instance being created
         */
        static::creating(function ($model) {
            if ($model->getKey() === null) {
                $model->setAttribute($model->getKeyName(), Str::uuid()->toString());
            }
        });
    }

    // Tells the database not to auto-increment this field
    public function getIncrementing()
    {
        return false;
    }

    // Helps the application specify the field type in the database
    public function getKeyType()
    {
        return 'string';
    }
}
