AES Decrypt
In this article
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.
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.
Prerequisites
None.
Support for Ultra Pipelines
Works in Ultra Pipelines.
Limitations and Known Issues
None.
Snap Views
Type | Format | Number of Views | Examples of Upstream and Downstream Snaps |
---|---|---|---|
Input | Binary  |
| Any Snap that produces binary data in the output view such as File Reader or Compress. |
Output | Binary  |
| 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. The available options are:

Field Name | Field Type | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
Label* Default Value:Â AES 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  Default Value:N/A | String | Specify the string used to generate a secret key and an initialization vector.Â
| |
Secret key  Default Value: N/A | String | Specify the secret key used for decryption. | |
Initialization vector Default Value: N/A | String | Specify the initialization vector used for decryption. It should be in hexadecimal format, and should not be used in ECB mode. | |
Cipher mode Default Value: ECB | Dropdown list | Specify the mode of operation for a block cipher. Available options include: | |
Encryption padding | Dropdown list | Choose the encryption padding from the list. Available options include:Â
| |
Snap Execution Default Value: Validate & Execute | Dropdown list | Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
