Snap type:

Transform


Description:

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

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 the SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. This Snap supports a Symmetric crypto account, or no account. See Configuring Binary Accounts for information on setting up accounts 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



Password



The string used to generate a secret key and an initialization vector.

If Password is set, the Secret key is ignored.

Example: K1qjoeFQTr

Secret key


The secret key used for encryption.

If Password is set, the Secret key is ignored.

Example: VsWLDQMvz9LaCaB3aaDHBw==

Initialization vector


The initialization vector used for encryption. It should be in hexadecimal format, and is not used in ECB mode.
