Introduction (Encryption/Decryption)

This page describes the use of the Bizweaver Encrypt/Decrypt Tool.

Encrypt Decrypt Tool

The encryption tool is best used to encrypt data from a source (AWS, Versago) to your database. The functionality is used to store sensitive data in a database, or a file. The tool accepts a string as input and encrypts it with a key you create. To view the string in clear text it must be decrypted with the same key. An encryption step can be added anywhere to a workflow. In the following illustration, the encryptdecrypt tool step is placed between two variable steps.

Basic Configuration Steps to Encrypt

Example:

Press <F4> to show variables from previous steps that might be used in the text field.

  1. Enter text that you would like to encrypt
  2. Select the appropriate value from the command the drop-down list

  1. Text - this is the information you are passing into the tool to encrypt/decrypt.
    1. You can use step and user variables in this field.
  2. Encryption / Decryption Key - This is a key you assign. It can be anything you wish.
    1. to make it secure, it is recommended that the key is a mix of upper-case and lower-case characters and numbers
  3. Command - This determines if you want to encrypt or decrypt the data.
    1. 0 to Encrypt
    2. 1 to Decrypt

    1. You can use step and user variables in this field.
    2. Make sure you use the value you are wishing to decrypt
  2. Encryption / Decryption Key - Use the key you created initially to decrypt.
  3. Command - This determines if you want to encrypt or decrypt the data.
    1. 0 to Encrypt
    2. 1 to Decrypt
