Subject: file encryption/decryption needed

Hi Folks,

             Yesterday, in my ruby application, I was needed to
encrypt/decrypt a file. I searched for a 2-way encryption technique and
ended up with ezcrypto gem. I thought to give it a test. I was able to
encrypt the content and store it in a file but getting errors while
decrypting the file content and writing to console. I couldn't figure
out the problem. here is my code

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'ezcrypto'

  @key = EzCrypto::Key.with_password "private documents","salted hash"
  file1 = File.new("crypto.txt", "w")
  @encrypted = @key.encrypt "These are private documents"
  file1.puts @encrypted
  file1.close
  puts "Here is the content"
  file2 = File.read("crypto.txt")
  puts @key.decrypt file2

Can anyone figure out the problem? or suggest me a different crypting
technique other than ezcrypto or suggest me a ruby app implementing such
a requirement..
or a code snippet

any help appreciated

thanks&regards,
Venkat
