ArgumentError: ciphertext failed authentication step

[tibbon]

In Ruby 2.3.7 I'm hitting some significant problems.

First, simply running bundle install from this repo doesn't seem to install aead, since when I run the tests or pull open a pry/irb console and try to require 'aead' it says file not found. I had to check out that repo manually, do a gem build and install it from there globally.

Once that's done, I'm getting a ArgumentError: ciphertext failed authentication step error, which is also happening in my application when the decrypt operation is attempted. See below:

My Ruby and System OpenSSL install are using the same version:

I've tried commenting out the rescue from ~/.rbenv/versions/2.3.7/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/aead-1.8.2/lib/aead/cipher/aes_gcm.rb:49 and then get a slightly different error of OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError: CTRL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED:

Any ideas?

[tibbon]

Everything works fine under Ruby 2.3.1.

[tibbon]

These are about the only things I've been able to find about CTRL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl/issues/556 https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/boringssl/err_data.c#L864

@tibbon I've made some changes around Ruby support. If you're pegged to Ruby 2.3, can you retry with gala v0.3.2?

If you're not pegged to Ruby v2.3, can you upgrade to gala v0.4 which support Ruby 2.4 and above?

Thank you!
