Blowfish Encrypt
In this article
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 Encrypt 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.

Field Name | Field Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Label*
Default Value: 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 | String | Specify the string to generate a secret key and an initialization vector.
|
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. 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 | Dropdown list | Select the encryption padding from the list. The available options include:
