Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/connectors/security/asymmetric-cryptography.md). # Asymmetric Cryptography Learn how to encrypt or decrypt using the Asymmetric Cryptography component. **Asymmetric Cryptography** encrypts and decrypts based on public and private keys. ## Parameters Take a look at the configuration options for the component. Parameters supported by [Double Braces expressions](/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/double-braces/overview.md) are marked with `(DB)`.

Parameter	Description	Default value	Data type
Account	Account to be used by the component. Supported accounts: Public key or Private key.	N/A	String
Crypto Operation	Available operation types (Encrypt and Decrypt).	Encrypt	String
Fields To Encrypt/Decrypt	Fields to be encrypted/decrypted using a dotted notation (eg.: body.field1, body.field2, body).	body.field1,body.field2	String
Algorithm	Algorithm to be used to encrypt/decrypt data.	RSA	String
Operation Mode	Operation mode to be used.	ECB	String
Padding	Is used in a block cipher where we fill up the blocks with padding bytes (eg.: AES 128 bits uses 16 padding bytes).	OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding	String
Fail On Error	If the option is enabled, the execution of the pipeline with an error will be interrupted; otherwise, the pipeline execution proceeds, but the result will show a false value for the “success” property.	False	Boolean

To encrypt, you must configure a Public Key account or pass the property key via body with the respective key. To decrypt, you must configure a Private Key account or pass the property key via body with the respective key. If the key isn't configured in the account, you must specify it in the request as the model below: ``` { "encryptionKey": "-- THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC KEY--" } ``` ## Asymmetric Cryptography in Action ### KEY by ACCOUNT #### **Config** ``` { "operation": "encrypt", "algorithm": "RSA", "operationMode": "ECB", "padding": "OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding", "encryptedFields": "data,data1", "failOnError": true } ``` #### **Payload** ``` { "data": someData, "data1": someData1 } ``` #### **Output** ``` { "data": "RXZlbiBpZiBwZXJmZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=", "data1": "RXZlbiBpZifd441mZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=" } ``` #### **Config** ``` { "operation": "decrypt", "algorithm": "RSA", "operationMode": "ECB", "padding": "OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding", "encryptedFields": "data,data1", "failOnError": true } ``` #### **Payload** ``` { "data": "RXZlbiBpZiBwZXJmZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=", "data1": "RXZlbiBpZifd441mZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=" } ``` #### **Output** ``` { "data": someData, "data1": someData1 } ``` ### KEY by REQUEST BODY #### **Config** ``` { "operation": "encrypt", "algorithm": "RSA", "operationMode": "ECB", "padding": "OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding", "encryptedFields": "data,data1", "failOnError": true } ``` #### **Payload** ``` { "encryptionKey": "-- THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC KEY--" "data": someData, "data1": someData1 } ``` #### **Output** ``` { "data": "RXZlbiBpZiBwZXJmZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=", "data1": "RXZlbiBpZifd441mZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=" } ``` #### **Config** ``` { "operation": "decrypt", "algorithm": "RSA", "operationMode": "ECB", "padding": "OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding", "encryptedFields": "data,data1", "failOnError": true } ``` #### **Payload** ``` { "encryptionKey": "-- THE FOLLOWING PRIVATE KEY--" "data": "RXZlbiBpZiBwZXJmZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=", "data1": "RXZlbiBpZifd441mZWN0IGNyeXB0b2dyYXBoaWMgcm91dGluZXMgYXJlIH=" } ```
--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/connectors/security/asymmetric-cryptography.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
