Overview

This Snap decrypts the binary documents it receives on its input view using the Blowfish algorithm and user-specified encryption parameters.

...

...

The default security in the JRE limits the key length for encryption keys. For stronger encryption keys, you

...

must manually install the Java Cryptographic Extension JARs on your JCC nodes.

  • Expected Upstream Snaps: Any Snap that produces binary data in the output view such as File Reader or Compress.
  • Expected Downstream Snaps: Any Snap that accepts binary data in the input view such as File Writer or Decompress.

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:

  • 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 remaining records.

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

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Default ValueBlowfish Decrypt
ExampleBlowfish Decrypt

String

Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.

Password

...

Default Value: N/A
ExampleK1qjoeFQTr

String

Specify the string to generate a secret key and an initialization vector. If the secret key property is set, the password is ignored.

  • If Secret key property is set, the Password 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.
