Overview

A document whose stored bytes are encrypted with Active Record encryption (state here, update payloads via Y::EncryptedDocumentUpdate). Same tables as Y::Document — the class you access through decides the cryptography, the way ActionText::EncryptedRichText does for rich text. Keep one access path per document: rows written encrypted read back as ciphertext through the plain classes.

Requires the app to configure Active Record encryption keys. Ciphertext is larger than the plaintext (a serialized envelope around Base64), so the effective payload cap drops to roughly three quarters of the column limit.
