module EncryptedAttributes
  # Adds support for embedding salts in the encrypted value
  class ShaCipher < EncryptedStrings::ShaCipher
    # Encrypts a string using a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), specifically SHA-1.
    # 
    # Configuration options:
    # * <tt>:salt</tt> - Random bytes used as one of the inputs for generating
    #   the encrypted string
    # * <tt>:embed_salt</tt> - Whether to embed the salt directly within the
    #   encrypted value.  Default is false.  This is useful for storing both
    #   the salt and the encrypted value in the same attribute.
