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.

Snap Type

Blowfish Decrypt Snap is a TRANSFORM-type Snap that transforms the binary documents.

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.

Snap Settings

Asterisk ( * ): Indicates a mandatory field.
Suggestion icon (): Indicates a list that is dynamically populated based on the configuration.
Expression icon (): Indicates whether the value is an expression (if enabled) or a static value (if disabled). Learn more about Using Expressions in SnapLogic.
Add icon (): Indicates that you can add fields in the field set.
Remove icon (): Indicates that you can remove fields from the field set.

Field Name	Field Type	Description

Field Name	Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: Blowfish Decrypt Example: Blowfish 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 Example: K1qjoeFQTr	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.
Secret key Default Value:N/A Example: N0FzAAe4qtY=	String	Specify the secret key used for decryption.
Initialization vector Default Value: N/A Example: 296151aacf89c87f	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 Example: CFB	Dropdown list	Specify 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.
Encryption padding* Default Value: PKCS5PADDING Example: NOPADDING	Dropdown list	Select the encryption padding from the list. The available options include: PKCS5PADDING ISO10126PADDING NOPADDING
Snap Execution Default Value: Validate & Execute Example: Execute only	Dropdown list	Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
