Gibberish - Easier Ruby Encryption

by markpercival —

The top result on Google for “Ruby Encryption” is a DZone snippet, and it’s incorrectly implemented. I’m trying to fix this with a well documented, tested, and easy to use library based on OpenSSL. Check it out on GitHub

Hey Mark ,

I think you do not search hard enough, check this out

Hey nicetry,

I think EzCrypto is a great library, but my design considerations and implementation were pretty different for Gibberish.

Whether people choose EzCrypto, Gibberish, or use OpenSSL directly, I just want to ferret out the bad encryption practices out there and give people an easy to use alternative.

And the fact of the matter is, two good libraries make it even more likely that people will find one and wind up with safer code.

Thanks
