ApiKeyTools

A small set of classes that I use to encode and validate data sent between servers

Installation

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

Usage

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?
