I try to encrypt email attribute for User model. email is used by Devise.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base end

devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :confirmable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable

To encryption I use attr_encrypted gem: https://github.com/attr-encrypted/attr_encrypted I'd like to use this gem but I'm not attached to. Actually I'm receiving a lot of issues related with this.

Does anyone has encrypted email attribute in Rails project where Devis was used, ideally using attr_encrypted ? What was your approach to that ?

I use attr_encrypted for some fields and I think it would be very tricky to get it working the way you want. What is the reason for encrypting email in the first place? – Mike Szyndel Sep 07 '14 at 15:01
It's a client requirement, kind of formal stuff. – Leszek Andrukanis Sep 07 '14 at 16:57

I'm looking to do the same thing. eMail addresses are valuable to hackers, it'd be nice to deny them that. – John Judd Apr 10 '15 at 06:50
