Snap type:

Transform 

Description:

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

Note

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.

  • 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.


Prerequisites:

[None]


Support and limitations:

Works in Ultra Pipelines.


Account: 

This Snap uses account references created on the Accounts page of SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. This Snap supports a Symmetric crypto account, or no account.  See See Configuring Binary Accounts for information on setting up this type of accountaccounts that work with this Snap.

Views:


InputThis Snap has exactly one binary input view.
OutputThis Snap has exactly one binary output view.
ErrorThis Snap has at most one binary error view and produces binaries in the view.



Settings

Label


Required. 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


The string used to generate a secret key and an initialization vector. If the secret key property is set, the password is ignored.
Example: K1qjoeFQTr


Secret key


The secret key that is used for encryption.
Example: N0FzAAe4qtY=


Initialization vector


The initialization vector used for encryption. It should be in hexadecimal format and should not be used in ECB mode.
Example: 296151aacf89c87f


Cipher mode

Required. The mode of operation for a block cipher.

The available options include: ECB, CBC, PCBC, CTR, CTS, CFB, CFB8, CFB16, CFB24, CFB32, CFB40, CFB48, CFB56, CFB64, OFB, OFB8, OFB16, OFB24, OFB32, OFB40, OFB48, OFB56, OFB64.

Default value:  ECB


Encryption padding

Required. The encryption padding. 

The available options include: PKCS5PADDING, ISO10126PADDING, NOPADDING.

Default value: PKCS5PADDING

Note
When the 'NOPADDING' option is selected,  the data is processed in blocks of the same size. It ignores the characters in the end if those are less than the size of the block. As a result, there is a chance of of losing characters at the end.
