Rails Plugin CipherMail (Backup Archive from svn)

Category: Ruby on Rails | Tags: rails plugin security 0 Comments

HowFlow — CipherMail provides a safe alternative to the mail_to helper by hiding mailto links from e-mail harvesting bots. The generated output is completely obfuscated by a 1024 bit random key.

How it works

They keyword is stored on the server, so it is never revealed to the client. Processing is performed on the server-side via an AJAX request and the decrypted redirect is returned to the client, opening a mail composer window… just like normal mailto link.

Usage

Download the plugin from the file area of this trick (the original svn is gone) and install it in vendor/plugins.

<%= ciphermail_to "John Smith", "someone@somedomain.com" %>
