Encryptor

A simple wrapper for the standard ruby OpenSSL library

Installation

gem install shuber-encryptor --source http://gems.github.com

Usage

secret_key = Digest::SHA256.hexdigest('a secret key')
encrypted_value = Huberry::Encryptor.encrypt(:value => 'some string to encrypt', :key => secret_key) # '������{)��q�ށ�ܣ��q���Au/�ޜP'
decrypted_value = Huberry::Encryptor.decrypt(:value => encrypted_value, :key => secret_key) # 'some string to encrypt'

You may also pass the :iv and :algorithm options but they are not required. If an algorithm is not specified, the Encryptor uses the algorithm found at Huberry::Encryptor.default_algorithm which is aes-256-cbc by default. You can change the default algorithm by overwriting this attribute:

Huberry::Encryptor.default_algorithm = 'bf'

Run openssl list-cipher-commands in your terminal to view a list all cipher algorithms that are supported on your platform.
