Create an initializer that will configure the EncryptedAttributes module with your Key and IV.

EncryptedAttributes.setup(:key => 'YOUR RANDOM KEY', :iv => 'YOUR RANDOM INITIALIZATION VECTOR')

Encrypt your columns like.

class Deployment < ActiveRecord::Base
  extend EncryptedAttributes

  serialize :secret_config, Hash
  encrypt :secret_config
end

Ensure you have a MySQL table called encrypted_attributes_test.

Running the specs for Rails 2.3.x:
