Encrypted cookie based session for Rails 3.
Developer, Ruby, Ruby on Rails · There are times when one must store things in a session that are not necessarily meant for anyone's eyes. Database… · More or memcache sessions should be used for highly confidential information, however, for information that is not mission critical but still could benefit from a little discretion, an encrypted session cookie might be a good option. EncryptedCookieStore is a drop in replacement for the built in ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore. encrypted-cookie-store uses the encrypted-cookies gem to store the session information in an encrypted and signed cookie, instead of only using a signed cookie, as ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore does.
Similar functionality was introduced in Rails 4.0.

Encrypted cookie jar for Rails 3
Developer, Ruby on Rails, Ruby · There are times when one must store things in a cookie that are not necessarily meant for anyone's eyes. It is… · More probably not the best practice to do so, but when one must, it's better to do so with at least a minimal bit of security. encrypted-cookies will encrypt and sign the contents of the cookie before writing it back to the browser and then decrypt and verify the data on each subsequent request.
EncryptedCookieJar is very much like the SignedCookieJar. The difference is it uses ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor instead of ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier to generate the value set on the cookie. Fairly straight forward.

Select a single column from a table by passing ActiveRecord
Developer, Ruby, Active Record · Bypass the ActiveRecord object creation when you only want an array populated from a single column. Similar… · More functionality showed up in Rails 4 as the #pluck method.
Easy access to attributes stored in a serialized data hash
Ruby, Active Record · ActiveRecord attributes are mapped to columns in your database; however, many attributes that needed to be persisted for an… · More object don't need their own column because they will never be searched or filtered on. One solution is to save these with a serialized hash into a text field in the database and provide similar access to the values as other attribute accessors.
Similar functionality showed up in Rails 3.2 as ActiveRecord::Store.
