Overview

The algorithm used for encrypting and decrypting Message objects.

It uses AES-256-GCM. It will generate a random IV for non deterministic encryption (default) or derive an initialization vector from the encrypted content for deterministic encryption.

See Aes256Gcm.

#decrypt(encrypted_message, key:)

Decrypt the provided Message.

When key is an ::Array, it will try all the keys raising a Errors::Decryption if none works.

def decrypt(encrypted_message, key:)
  try_to_decrypt_with_each(encrypted_message, keys: Array(key)).tap do |decrypted_text|
    decrypted_text.force_encoding(encrypted_message.headers.encoding || DEFAULT_ENCODING)
  end
end

#encrypt(clean_text, key:, deterministic: false)

Encrypts the provided text and return an encrypted Message.
