= Mcrypt - libmcrypt bindings for Ruby
Mcrypt provides Ruby-language bindings for libmcrypt(3), a
symmetric cryptography library. {Libmcrypt}[http://mcrypt.sourceforge.net/]
supports lots of different ciphers and encryption modes.
== You will need
* A working Ruby installation (>= 1.8.6 or 1.9)
* A working libmcrypt installation (2.5.x or 2.6.x, tested with 2.5.8)
* A sane build environment
== Installation
Install the gem:
gem install ruby-mcrypt --test -- --with-mcrypt-dir=/path/to/mcrypt/prefix
If you're installing on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install mcrypt libmcrypt-dev
gem install ruby-mcrypt
If you want to run the longer test suite, do this instead:
MCRYPT_TEST_BRUTE=1 \
gem install ruby-mcrypt --test -- --with-mcrypt-dir=/path/to/mcrypt/prefix
Put this in your code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mcrypt'
Or in Rails' environment.rb:
gem "ruby-mcrypt", :lib => "mcrypt"
== Usage
crypto = Mcrypt.new(:twofish, :cbc, MY_KEY, MY_IV, :pkcs)
# encryption and decryption in one step
ciphertext = crypto.encrypt(plaintext)
plaintext = crypto.decrypt(ciphertext)
# encrypt in smaller steps
while chunk = $stdin.read(4096)
$stdout << crypto.encrypt_more(chunk)
end
$stdout << crypto.encrypt_finish
# or decrypt:
while chunk = $stdin.read(4096)
$stdout << crypto.decrypt_more(chunk)
end
$stdout << crypto.decrypt_finish
== Known Issues
* Test coverage is lacking.
If you find any bugs, please let the author know.
== Wish List
* IO-like behavior, e.g. crypto.open($stdin) { |stream| ... }
