Encryptor.Ecto.SerializationError exception (Encryptor.Ecto v0.2.0)

Raised when the serializer behind Encryptor.Ecto.Map fails on a value (ADR-0001 decision 6).

The serializer runs on the plaintext side of the type - encoding before the dump, decoding after the load - so its failure is neither an encryption failure nor an integrity event, and it gets its own exception rather than being folded into either.

:serializer names the module that failed (Jason by default, per decision

and :direction says which half of the round trip it failed in. Neither carries the value: a serialization failure is exactly the place where a plaintext is closest to hand, and exactly the place ADR-0001 decision 6 calls the least excusable leak.
