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_options[:algorithm] which is aes-256-cbc by default. You can change the default options
by overwriting or merging this attribute:
Huberry::Encryptor..merge!(:algorithm => 'bf', :key => 'some default secret key')
