I need a gem to perform simple string encryption and decryption in Ruby for values I want to store in the database. Can anyone suggest a good open source gem to use for this?

That depends on what you mean with simple – the encryption algorithm or the use of the gem?
If you need nontoy encryption, then I would suggest you take a look at the ‘crypt’ gem.
