Encrypt

A gem for encrypting and decrypting strings with AES-256. Just supply a String and the password.

Encrypt uses an AES-256 cipher in CBC mode. A randomly generated salt and IV are publicly stored along with the encrypted data.

Usage

require 'encrypt'

encrypted = Encrypt.dump 'super sekret message', 'passw0rd'
  #=>

Encrypt.load encrypted, 'passw0rd'
  #=> "super sekret message"

Encrypt.load encrypted, 'wrong'
  #=> OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError: bad decrypt

Installation

gem install encrypt
