(Ruby) Transition from RandomizeKey to GenRandomBytesENC

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated RandomizeKey method calls with GenRandomBytesENC.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

crypt.put_CryptAlgorithm("aes")
crypt.put_CipherMode("cbc")
crypt.put_KeyLength(256)
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

# Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
crypt.RandomizeKey()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
randomKeyBase64 = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(32)
crypt.SetEncodedKey(randomKeyBase64,"base64")
