AES Pipeline Component

The AES Pipeline Component can be used to encrypt and decrypt data for regular transport.

Remarks

The AES 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.

To use the AES Pipeline Component, you must first set the KeySize to determine the strength of the cipher to be used. 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 may also modify how the cryptography is performed by setting the CipherMode and PaddingMode properties.
