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 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--"
}
