puts plain = 'confidential' # confidential | |
puts key = 'secret' # secret | |
puts cipher = plain.encrypt(key) # 5C6D4C5FAFFCF09F271E01C5A132BE89 | |
puts cipher.decrypt('guess') # raises OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError | |
puts cipher.decrypt(key) # confidential |
my complete solution is:
require 'openssl'
class String
def encrypt(key)
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::AES.new(128, :CBC).encrypt
cipher.key = key
cipher.update(self) + cipher.final
end
def decrypt(key)
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::AES.new(128, :CBC).decrypt
cipher.key = key
cipher.update(self) + cipher.final
end
end
keygen = OpenSSL::Cipher::AES.new(128, :CBC).encrypt
key = keygen.random_key
encrypted = "geheim".encrypt(key)
encrypted.decrypt(key) # => geheim
avoiding key must be 24 bytes
def encrypt(key)
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher.new("aes-256-cbc").encrypt
cipher.key = Digest::MD5.hexdigest key
s = cipher.update(self) + cipher.final
s.unpack('H*')[0].upcase
end
def decrypt(key)
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher.new('aes-256-cbc').decrypt
cipher.key = Digest::MD5.hexdigest key
s = [self].pack("H*").unpack("C*").pack("c*")
cipher.update(s) + cipher.final
end
avoiding

thanks, works perfectly!

@mikosullivan key is used in different context. In this gist, key is a cipher "password". You are trying to set the "encryption key". Consider using your key as cipher password and generate a secure random key. Check out Ruby's documentation for encrypt and key and the section Choosing a key.
I suggest, you don't use a password, but generate a secure (random) key. Store it somewhere safe, e.g. base64-encoded.
