Allows you to enable encryption of cache values with:
```yaml
\# config/solid_cache.yml
production:
encrypt: true
```
or
```ruby
\# application.rb
config.solid_cache.encrypt = true
```
Requires Active Record Encryption to be configured already.
Solid Cache by default uses a custom encryptor and message serializer
that are optimised for it.
Firstly it disabled compression with the encryptor
`ActiveRecord::Encryption::Encryptor.new(compress: false)` - the cache
already compresses the data.
Secondly it uses `ActiveRecord::Encryption::MessagePackMessageSerializer.new`
as the serializer. This serializer can only be used for binary columns,
but can store about 40% more data than the standard serializer.
Or allow custom context properties to be set:
```ruby
\# application.rb
config.solid_cache.encryption_context_properties = {
encryptor: ActiveRecord::Encryption::Encryptor.new,
message_serializer: ActiveRecord::Encryption::MessageSerializer.new
}
```
Add 170 bytes to the estimated size of each entry when encryption is enabled. This assumes that the default context properties are used.
