ruby-on-rails - Using ruby attr-encrypted gem without changing table column names

Question

I have an existing project that I am now trying to update to use the attr-encrypted gem to encrypt some of my existing table columns.

Everything works as expected IF I update the names of the table attributes that I want encrypted to start with 'encrypted_'.

However, I am trying to avoid modifying my tables at all. Is that possible using attr-encrypted? And if so, how would I reference the encrypted/decrypted versions of the column data?

So for example, I have a Users table with a phone_number attribute. I want to encrypt the phone_number data without having to rename it to encrypted_phone_number in order for the attr_encrypted gem to work.

Thanks,

我认为这是不可能的，因为attr-encryptedgem 需要区分这些字段（加密前与加密后），并且它会尝试active_record挂钩以加密字段。
