Veronica

A gem to make it easier for sardonic young detectives to keep secrets.

Basically just a wrapper around existing hashing/encrypting methods.

Not really actively maintained, use at your own risk. May spontaneously accuse trusted community figures of murder, or simply not work.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'veronica'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install veronica

Once you've included it in a project, you can use it like so:

Veronica.generate_sha2(digest_bits: 256, string: "I've got a secret, a good one.")`
=> "61cb3c4118402462e3055033176a2222d1a7b8e88db775bbdccd5b05b3cc7f0e"

You can also pass in an encoding_format:

Veronica.generate_sha2(digest_bits: 256, string: "Don't forget about me, Veronica.", encoding_format: "base64digest")
=> "wyWcnqQlnMtEdgR23nOeGoDm3Z5wetAj5FHoIqXj2d4="

Valid digest_bits settings for SHA2 are: 256, 384, 512

Valid encoding_format settings for SHA2 are "hexdigest", "base64digest", and just "digest".

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. Feel free to submit issues as well as PRs.
