EzCrypt Pipeline Component
Properties Configuration Settings
The EzCrypt Pipeline Component can be used to encrypt and decrypt data for regular transport.
Remarks
The EzCrypt Pipeline Component contains an encoder and a decoder that receive messages from the BizTalk Message Engine and perform cryptographic operations on the data. The encoder will produce an encrypted file that the decoder can then decrypt, making it possible to add secure storage to your business process.
Configuration
To use the EzCrypt Pipeline Component, first select an Algorithm. Only symmetric algorithms are supported in the EzCrypt Pipeline Component.
Next, set the KeyPassword to allow the pipeline component to generate the cryptographic Key and IV. Alternatively, you may set the Key and IV properties directly. Note that the same password may be used for the encoder and decoder to generate the same key and IV.
You can control the size of the key by setting the KeySize configuration setting. You can change how the cryptography is performed by setting the CipherMode and PaddingMode properties.
