Reg:Ruby gem that will encrypt all the data in the database

[VIDYA SAGAR POGIRI]

Hi is there any gem that will encrypt the data in the database table, if yes tell me the gem name

[Timothy Mukaibo]

Your database engine can probably encrypt the data for you. That is likely a better option!

There is attr_encrypted, which will do some stuff

It depends why you want encryption to an extent, if you are worried about someone stealing the server, use disk encryption, if you are worried about a DBA stealing your data, you could try this gem, but anyone who had access to the (running) server will probably have access to the keys so it may be a moot point
