Encrypt
Encrypts text or binary data.
Properties
Section titled “Properties”Input type
Section titled “Input type”Select either String (default) or Binary.
If String is selected, the data property will accept a string type, and the “Input encoding” property will be shown.
If Binary is selected, the data property will accept a list of bytes or Base64 encoded string.
Input encoding
Section titled “Input encoding”This property will appear only when String is selected for the Input type property.
Select which character encoding must be used to convert the input string to binary.
Options include:
- Default
- ANSI
- ASCII
- EBCDIC
- Mac
- OEM
- Unicode
- UTF7
- UTF8
The data to encrypt.
The type of the value must correspond to the option selected for the Input type property.
Algorithm
Section titled “Algorithm”The encryption algorithm to use.
Options:
- AES (default) - learn more
- Triple DES - learn more
- RSA - learn more
Symmetric Key
Section titled “Symmetric Key”The following properties are relevant when you select AES or Triple DES as the algorithm:
