lockbox VS Brakeman

The first step is to install the gem with bundle add authtrail. Additionally, since you'll be storing user-identifiable information such as emails and IP addresses in your app database, it's highly recommended that you encrypt this data in production using a combination of Lockbox and Blindindex gems.

Your app queries an encrypted ActiveStash index, which says what rows in your existing database should be retrieved. It works with all the popular application-level encryption plugins for ActiveRecord, including ActiveRecord Encryption, and Lockbox.

Content is encrypted using https://github.com/ankane/lockbox default setup I've been considering adding optional end-to-end encryption as well, but am a bit afraid people might lose access to content forever if they lose access to keys.

lockbox and blind_index for email fields encryption

Install lockbox and blind_index.

https://github.com/ankane/lockbox this is for the actual encryption of data

Lockbox

I've been using the lockbox gem to encrypt specified attributes.

I stumbled upon lockbox when looking for alternatives to attr_encrypted (It hadn't been updated for a while). It's really super & I'm pretty keen to share it :D

Brakeman - “Brakeman detects security vulnerabilities in Ruby on Rails applications via static analysis”

My team and I released Bearer a couple of weeks ago, a newer open and free alternative to Brakeman to check your code for security and privacy risks. In addition to Ruby/Rails, we also cover your JS/TS code, which allows you to use a single solution for your whole Rails application.

Brakeman is a static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications. It finds potential security issues in Rails applications by examining the Ruby code. Brakeman helps find and fix security holes before deploying your Rails app.

brakeman is another useful Ruby gem that is a static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications.

It’s assumed that you already have a Rails app and use Brakeman to keep your app secure and Rspec to run your test cases.

Another great lib for this is Brakeman, which can be installed in a very similar process and gives you even more detailed reports:

This is pretty easy to handle. In the case where a splatted array is the only argument to a method, we'll simply use the elements of the array as the argument list. (Check out the pull request here)
