v5.0.0.1 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor

new(secret, *signature_key_or_options)

public

Initialize a new MessageEncryptor. secret must be at least as long as the cipher key size. For the default ‘aes-256-cbc’ cipher, this is 256 bits. If you are using a user-entered secret, you can generate a suitable key by using ActiveSupport::KeyGenerator or a similar key derivation function.

Options:

:cipher - Cipher to use. Can be any cipher returned by OpenSSL::Cipher.ciphers. Default is ‘aes-256-cbc’.
:digest - String of digest to use for signing. Default is SHA1.
:serializer - Object serializer to use. Default is Marshal.
