== SYNOPSIS:
SecretAgent << ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_encrypted
encrypt_fields :firstname, :lastname, :secret_agent_number
end
SuperWeapon << ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_encrypted
encrypt_field :obvious_weakness
end
== REQUIREMENTS:
* Ruby Compiled --with-openssl
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install acts_as_encrypted
In your application's config/environment:
config.gem "acts_as_encrypted"
Then, if you want to change the encryption password or type (and you should!):
config.after_initialize do
