Overview

The acts_as_authentic method has a crypto_provider option. This allows you to use any type of encryption you like. Just create a class with a class level encrypt and matches? method. See example below.

Example

class MyAwesomeEncryptionMethod
  def self.encrypt(*tokens)
    # The tokens passed will be an array of objects, what type of object
    # is irrelevant, just do what you need to do with them and return a
    # single encrypted string. For example, you will most likely join all
    # of the objects into a single string and then encrypt that string.
  end

  def self.matches?(crypted, *tokens)
    # Return true if the crypted string matches the tokens. Depending on
    # your algorithm you might decrypt the string then compare it to the
    # token, or you might encrypt the tokens and make sure it matches the
    # crypted string, its up to you.
  end
end
