This is a wrapper for a hash of encryption properties. It is used by Key (public tags) and Message (headers).

Since properties are serialized in messages, it is important for storage efficiency to keep their keys as short as possible. It defines accessors for common properties that will keep these keys very short while exposing a readable name.

message.headers.encrypted_data_key # instead of message.headers[:k]

Constants

ALLOWED_VALUE_CLASSES = [String, ActiveRecord::Encryption::Message, Numeric, TrueClass, FalseClass, Symbol, NilClass]
 
DEFAULT_PROPERTIES = { encrypted_data_key: "k", encrypted_data_key_id: "i", compressed: "c", iv: "iv", auth_tag: "at", encoding: "e" }
 

For each entry it generates an accessor exposing the full name

[]=(key, value)

Set a value for a given key

It will raise an EncryptedContentIntegrity if the value exists

  raise Errors::EncryptedContentIntegrity, "Properties can't be overridden: #{key}" if key?(key)
  validate_value_type(value)
  data[key] = value
end

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/encryption/properties.rb, line 62
def add(other_properties)
  other_properties.each do |key, value|
    self[key.to_sym] = value
  end
