Crypto: Encryption Node

The Crypto: Encryption Node allows you to perform symmetric cryptographic operations on your payload, encrypting or decrypting data using a secret key and a chosen algorithm.

Node Properties

The Crypto: Encryption Node takes the following properties ...

Configuration

The Crypto: Encryption Node's configuration fields are:

• Operation Mode: The operation the node should perform. Options are:

  • encrypt (Default) – encrypt the incoming data using the provided secret key.
  • decrypt – decrypt previously encrypted data using the provided secret key.

• Data Template: A string template that is the input data to be encrypted or decrypted.

• Data Encoding: The encoding of the incoming data. By default utf8 is selected.

• Secret Template: A string template that resolves to the secret key used to encrypt or decrypt the data.

• Secret Encoding: The encoding of the provided secret key. By default utf8 is selected.

• Cipher Type: The cipher used for the cryptographic operation.

Result

• Result Encoding: The encoding that the resulting encrypted or decrypted data should be formatted in. By default hex is selected.
• Destination Path: A path on the payload where the resulting value (ciphertext or plaintext) will be stored, e.g. working.encrypted.

Node Example

Given the following payload ...

{
  "data": {
    "message": "My secret message",
    "secret": "*****REDACTED*****"
  }
}

... and a Crypto: Encryption Node with the following settings ...

• Operation Mode: encrypt
• Data Template: {{data.message}}
• Data Encoding: utf8
• Secret Template: {{data.secret}}
• Secret Encoding: utf8
• Cipher Type: aes-256-gcm
• Result Encoding: hex
• Result Path: working.encrypted

The payload after execution of the Crypto: Encryption Node would look like:

{
  "data": {
    "message": "My secret message",
    "secret": "*****REDACTED*****"
  },
  "working": {
    "encrypted": "5d0056b743a344e04f5013a59e5682e8a7a98d64124bda37a6ba87abbec5efc74cbbbadbc01912bf22a247084c"
  }
