Overview

You can use this Snap to decrypt the binary documents that it receives on its input view using the AES algorithm and user-specified encryption parameters.

...

Info

The default security in the JRE limits the key length for encryption keys. For stronger encryption keys, you would need to manually install the Java Cryptographic Extension JARs on your JCC nodes.

Snap Type

AES Decrypt Snap is a TRANSFORM-type Snap that transforms the binary documents.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest of the records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Default ValueAES Decrypt
ExampleAES Decrypt

String

Specify the name for the Snap. You can use a more specific label, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your

Pipeline.

Password

  • If Password is set, the Secret key is ignored.

  • This field is currently not encrypted at rest and is saved and exported in plaintext. For any shareable secrets that require encryption at rest, we recommend you use a Secret key in the Symmetric Crypto Account. Using a Symmetric Crypto Account ensures that your sensitive information is protected and secure.

Default Value: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only


Dropdown list

Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
