EzCrypt Module

Properties   Configuration Settings  

The EzCrypt Transformer can be used to encrypt and decrypt data for regular transport.

Remarks

The EzCrypt Module contains an encoder and a decoder that receive Mule Messages from the Mule Project 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 Module, first select an Algorithm. Only symmetric algorithms are supported in the EzCrypt Module.

Next, set the KeyPassword to allow the module 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.

Encrypt Example

Add a File Read connector in front of the EzCrypt Encode Module and configure it to read a target file. Add the EzCrypt Encode Module behind it and configure it with a KeyPassword. That is all that is required to begin encrypting data.

The module will write the encrypted bytes to the payload of the Mule Message. You can specify a File Write connector behind EzCrypt Encode to write the encrypted bytes to disk or perform your own further processing.

Decrypt Example

Add a File Read connector in front of the EzCrypt Decode Module and configure it to read encrypted bytes. Add the EzCrypt Decode Module behind it specify the same KeyPassword. That is all that is required to begin decrypting the data.

The module will write the decrypted bytes to the payload of the Mule Message. You can specify a File Write connector behind EzCrypt Decode to write the plaintext bytes to disk or perform your own further processing.
