module ActiveRecord::Encryption::EncryptableRecord
This is the concern mixed in Active Record models to make them encryptable. It adds the encrypts
attribute declaration, as well as the API to encrypt and decrypt records.
Constants
- ORIGINAL_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX

Encrypts the name
attribute.
Options
:key_provider
- Configure aKeyProvider
for serving the keys to encrypt and decrypt this attribute. If not provided, it will default toActiveRecord::Encryption.key_provider
.:key
- A password to derive the key from. It's a shorthand for a:key_provider
that serves derivated keys. Both options can't be used at the same time.:key_provider
- Set a:key_provider
to provide encryption and decryption keys. If not provided, it will default to the key provider set with `config.key_provider`.:deterministic
- By default, encryption is not deterministic. It will use a random initialization vector for each encryption operation. This means that encrypting the same content with the same key twice will generate different ciphertexts. When set totrue
, it will generate the initialization vector based on the encrypted content. This means that the same content will generate the same ciphertexts. This enables querying encrypted text with Active Record. Deterministic encryption will use the oldest encryption scheme to encrypt new data by default. You can change this by setting +deterministic: { fixed: false }+. That will make it use the newest encryption scheme for encrypting new data.:downcase
- When true, it converts the encrypted content to downcase automatically. This allows to effectively ignore case when querying data. Notice that the case is lost. Use:ignore_case
if you are interested in preserving it.:ignore_case
- When true, it behaves like:downcase
but, it also preserves the original case in a specially designated column +original_<name>+. When reading the encrypted content, the version with the original case is served. But you can still execute queries that will ignore the case. This option can only be used when:deterministic
is true.:context_properties
- Additional properties that will overrideContext
settings when this attribute is encrypted and decrypted. E.g:encryptor:
,cipher:
,message_serializer:
, etc.:previous
- List of previous encryption schemes. When provided, they will be used in order when trying to read the attribute. Each entry of the list can contain the properties supported byencrypts
. Also, when deterministic encryption is used, they will be used to generate additional ciphertexts to check in the queries.
