AES Encrypt
In this article
Overview
You can use this Snap to encrypt 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 Encrypt Snap is a TRANSFORM-type Snap.
Prerequisites
A valid account with the required permissions.
Support for Ultra Pipelines
Works in Ultra Pipelines.
Limitations and Known Issues
None.

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 Encrypt | 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 | String | Specify the string used to generate a secret key and an initialization vector.
|
Secret key  Default Value: N/A | String | Specify the secret key to use for encryption. |
Initialization vector  Default Value: N/A | String | Specify the initialization vector used for encryption. It should be in hexadecimal format, and is not used in ECB mode. |
Cipher mode* Default Value: ECB | Dropdown list | Select 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, CFB72, CFB80, CFB88, CFB96, CFB104, CFB112, CFB120, CFB128, OFB, OFB8, OFB16, OFB24, OFB32, OFB40, OFB48, OFB56, OFB64, OFB72, OFB80, OFB88, OFB96, OFB104, OFB112, OFB120, OFB128. |
Encryption padding* Default Value:PKCS5PADDING | Dropdown list | Select the encryption padding. The available options include: PKCS5PADDING, ISO10126PADDING, NOPADDING. |
Snap Execution  Default Value: Validate & Execute | Dropdown list | Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes:
