Sekrat::Crypter::Aes

This is a Sekrat::Crypter implementation that uses the AES-256-GCM algorithm to encrypt/decrypt the data handed to it.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sekrat-crypter-aes'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sekrat-crypter-aes

To use this Crypter with a Sekrat::Manager, you do something like this:

require 'sekrat'
require 'sekrat/crypter/aes'

confidant = Sekrat.manager(crypter: Sekrat::Crypter::Aes)

Now, when you confidant.put secrets, they will be encrypted pretty strongly.

NOTE: The encrypted payloads that result from this algorithm are basically made of binary data, so if you're using a storage mechanism that doesn't do well with that sort of thing (like plain old filesystem files), it might not be a bad idea to make sure that said storage mechanism either uses the proper encoding or transforms to a non-binary format.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
