module Authlogic::CryptoProviders
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
