Security key generator
Description
Security key generator is a step in the Cryptography Plugin for Process Studio Workflows. The Security Key Generator step is used to generate a random key (secret key) for algorithms such as DES, AEC, TripleDES, which can be used for symmetric encryption of data.
Configurations
| No. | Field Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Step name | Name of the step as it appears in the workflow workspace. This name has to be unique in a single workflow. |
| Output fields: | ||
| 1 | Secret key field | Specify the name of the field that contains the generated secret key. |
| 2 | Algorithm field | Specify the name of the field that contains the the algorithm the generated secret key is used with. |
| 3 | Secret key length field | Specify the name of the field that contains the bit-length of the generated secret key. |
| 4 | Output key as binary | Enable this checkbox if you want the secret key to be returned in the ative binary form. Otherwise, the secret key will be encoded in hexadecimal form. |
| Secret key: | ||
| 1 | Algorithm | Specify the name of the Cipher algorithm that should be used to generate the secret key. |
| 2 | Scheme | Specify the name of the Cipher tranformation type that you would like to use. Leave empty for the default value used with the Algorithm. A default set of required Cipher Transformation types is available in Oracle Javadocs: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/crypto/Cipher.html |
| 3 | Key length | The bit-length of the secret key to be generated. For DES, the Key length can be 56. For DESede (Triple DES), the Key length can be 112 or 168. For AES, the Key length can be 128, 192, or 256. |
| 4 | How many? | The number of rows that should be generated with these Secret Key settings. |
