Overview

A 256-GCM cipher.

By default it will use random initialization vectors. For deterministic encryption, it will use a SHA-256 hash of the text to encrypt and the secret.

See Encryptor

Constructor Details

#initialize(secret, deterministic: false) ⇒ Aes256Gcm

When iv not provided, it will generate a random iv on each encryption operation (default and recommended operation)
