# This encryption method is reversible if you have the supplied key.
# So in order to use this encryption method you must supply it with a key first.
# In an initializer, or before your application initializes, you should do the following:
#
# Sorcery::Model::ConfigAES256.key = "my 32 bytes long key"
#
# My final comment is that this is a strong encryption method,
# but its main weakness is that its reversible. If you do not need to reverse the hash
# then you should consider Sha512 or BCrypt instead.
#
# Keep your key in a safe place, some even say the key should be stored on a separate server.
# This won't hurt performance because the only time it will try and access the key on the
# separate server is during initialization, which only
# happens once. The reasoning behind this is if someone does compromise your server they
# won't have the key also. Basically, you don't want to store the key with the lock.
