Decrypt Field

Overview

You can use this Snap to Decrypt Field in input documents using the Passphrase Account with the selected algorithm.

Snap views

Type Description Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps
Input This Snap has exactly one document input view, which can be a stream of documents with encrypted field values.
Output This Snap has exactly one document output view that is same as input document with specified field values decrypted.

Snap settings

Legend:
  • Expression icon (): Allows using pipeline parameters to set field values dynamically (if enabled). SnapLogic Expressions are not supported. If disabled, you can provide a static value.
  • SnapGPT (): Generates SnapLogic Expressions based on natural language using SnapGPT. Learn more.
  • Suggestion icon (): Populates a list of values dynamically based on your Snap configuration. You can select only one attribute at a time using the icon. Type into the field if it supports a comma-separated list of values.
  • Upload : Uploads files. Learn more.
Learn more about the icons in the Snap settings dialog.
Field/Field set Type Description
Label String

Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline.

Default value: Decrypt Field

Example: Decrypt Field
Fields to decrypt

A table for JSON-path expressions to fields to decrypt. Use the suggest button to select the field to decrypt.
Field path String/Suggestion Specify the JSON-path expressions to decrypt. Use the suggest button to select the field to decrypt.
Advanced Options

Use this fieldset to specify the key when no account is selected.
Key Dropdown list/Expression

Specify the JSON-path expression to be evaluated with input documents or pipeline parameters to the base64 or PEM-encoded key. Do not copy-and-paste directly to the property.

Default value: None.

Example: $key
Transform type String/Expression/ Suggestion Specify the cryptographic transformation the Snap needs to perform. The transform type is expressed as algorithm/mode/padding.

When set to auto the transformation will be automatically selected based on the type of encryption key using the following table:

Key Algorithm Transformation
AES AES/GCM/NoPadding
DES DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
DESede DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding
RSA RSA/None/OAEPWithSHA-256AndMGF1Padding
Note: Use the suggestion button to select a desired transformation type. When set to auto, the transformation is automatically selected based on the type of encryption key using the following table:
Example:

  • AES/GCM/NoPadding

  • DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
Initialization vector String/Expression Specify the base64-encoded initialization vector.

Default value: N/A

Example: $iv

Output type String/Expression/ Suggestion Specify either of the following output types you want the Snap to produce:
  • String
  • Document

Default value: N/A

Example: String
Key salt Dropdown list/Expression Specify the salt used in generating the key.
Note:

  • The salt is the data you incorporate in the passphrase to generate the encryption key in order to improve the security of the passphrase or key.

  • If no salt is provided to the Decrypt Field Snap, none will be used.
Key generation algorithm Dropdown list/Expression Specify the algorithm to use to generate the encryption key.

Default value: N/A

Example: $key_params.passphrase.key_gen_algorithm
Key generation iterations Dropdown list/Expression Specify the number of iterations to run when generating the encryption key.

Default value: N/A

Example: $key_params.passphrase.key_gen_iterations
Snap execution Dropdown list
Choose one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Default value: Validate and Execute

Example: Execute only
