Encrypt

Encrypt text into a base64 encoding using a key and specified OpenSSL algorithm.

Input

Field Definition Type Required
algorithm OpenSSL encryption algorithms; options are:

  • aes-128-cbc

  • aes-128-ecb

  • aes-256-cbc

  • aes-256-ecb

  • des-cbc

  • des-ecb

 Dropdown FALSE
key Text to use as the encryption key; the same key will be needed, along with the algorithm, to decrypt. String TRUE
data Text to encrypt. Dropdown TRUE

Output

Field Definition Type
output A base64 encoding of the provided input. String

Example

If algorithm is aes-256-cbc, key is my secret key, and data is My secret message! then output is hrDDPCtB0Cijc8EFAHhABiYEKdYBgt+e63RGV288SOI=.

The value of the output field can be sent wherever text can be sent. In order to decipher it, you will need to have the correct algorithm and key.
