A small set of classes that I use to encode and validate data sent between servers
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'api_key_tools'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install api_key_tools
To encode:
key_encoder = ApiKeyTools::Encode.new(user_id, secret, time_as_an_integer)
open_secret = key_encoder.to_s # this is what you want exposed not the secret
To validate:
validator = ApiKeyTools::Validator.new(key_encoder, open_secret)
validator.valid?
