Defined in:
lib/active_record/encryption/envelope_encryption_key_provider.rb

Overview

Implements a simple envelope encryption approach where:

  • It generates a random data-encryption key for each encryption operation

  • It stores the generated key along with the encrypted payload. It encrypts this key with the master key provided in the credential active_record.encryption.master key

This provider can work with multiple master keys. It will use the last one for encrypting.

When ‘config.store_key_references` is true, it will also store a reference to the specific master key that was used to encrypt the data-encryption key. When not set, it will try all the configured master keys looking for the right one, in order to return the right decryption key.
