Hi Amr,
There are lots of good libraries for doing crypto with Ruby. Here is a
google search on the subject of your message:
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ruby+and+Cryptography

And here is the first result:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/crypt/

Though, this forum/mailing-list/usenet group was not set up so people
can do your googling for you. I think here we'd rather discuss the
relative merits of different crypto libraries, or possible defects in
them. Even a question like "I tried thing x with the crypt library and
y didn't happen. Can anyone help?" would be better.

Highest regards,
-Harold

And to the world in general,

The warning on the ruby-forum posting page which mentions that this
every message on this mailing list is delivered to thousands of people
is awesome! I actually visited the page with the intention of telling
the forum maintainer to add such a warning. I was very pleased to see
that it's already there.

Now, how to make people notice it? Perhaps a <blink> tag is in order. ;)
