crypt

This is a mirror (or fork if you will) of the crypt19 gem. It vanished from rubygems in February of 2013, which made me a very sad panda. I rescued the code from my local installation and here it is again..

I will try to continue maintenance, however any help is very welcome!

The Crypt library is a pure-ruby implementation of a number of popular encryption algorithms. Block cyphers currently include Blowfish, GOST, IDEA, Rijndael (AES), and RC6. Cypher Block Chaining (CBC) has been implemented.

Crypt is written entirely in ruby so deployment is simple - no platform concerns, no library dependencies, nothing to compile.

Tests run on Travis CI. It currently is verified to work on the following ruby versions:

• mri 1.8.7
• mri 1.9.3
• jruby 1.8 mode
• rubinius 1.8 mode
• rubinius 1.9 mode

gem install crypt19-rb

RC6 algorithm implementation by Alexey Lapitsky (2009)

Block padding fix by Daniel Brahneborg (2007)

Originally written by Richard Kernahan (2005/2006)

The Blowfish code was adapted from Bruce Schneier's reference C code.

The GOST code was adapted from Wei Dai's C++ code from the Crypto++ project.

The IDEA code was based on the reference C implementation once published by MediaCrypt.

The Rijndael code was adapted from the reference ANSI C code by Paulo Barreto and Vincent Rijmen.
