cloak
An Elixir encryption library implementing best practices for secure data encryption with Ecto integration.
What is cloak?
Cloak is an Elixir encryption library that provides secure encryption with best practices like random initialization vectors and tagged ciphertexts. It simplifies encryption tasks for developers and integrates seamlessly with Ecto for database field encryption. The library is built on Erlang's crypto library, ensuring robust security foundations.
Elixir developers building applications that require secure data encryption, especially those using Ecto for database interactions and needing transparent field encryption.
Developers choose Cloak for its Elixir-native design, ease of key rotation through tagged ciphertexts, and strong integration with Ecto, making it a reliable and developer-friendly encryption solution.
