Blinkers

A Rails plugin to handle sensitive data securely.

Usage

Set in Gemfile and install with bundler.

gem 'blinkers'

bundle install

secure_params

secure_params is FILTERED params. It filters all data specified in Rails.application.config.filter_parameters and converts to [FILTERED].

So if you want to pass params to log file or other services, passing secure_params would be safer.

params['password']
=> 'password123'

secure_params['password']
=> '[FILTERED]'

Adding sensitive keys

If you want to filter other data. Just add to filter_parameters.

secure_params['secure_data']
=> 'THE SECRET DATA'

Rails.application.config.filter_parameters << [:secure_data]

secure_params['secure_data']
=> '[FILTERED]'
