pub.security:decrypt
WmPublic. Decrypts the encrypted data and returns plain data as a stream object or byte array or string.
Input Parameters
data
Document. The data that you want to decrypt must be in one of the following formats. If multiple input parameters are supplied for data, the service throws an exception stating that only one parameter must be passed.
Key
Description
string
String. Optional. The string that you want to decrypt.
stream
java.io.InputStream. Optional. The stream data that you want to decrypt.
bytes
byte[ ]. Optional. The byte array that you want to decrypt.
file
String. Optional. The absolute or relative path of the file that you want to decrypt. If the file is outside the Integration Server or Microservices Runtime installation directory, provide the absolute path. Otherwise, place the file in your Integration Server or Microservices Runtime working directory.
The About page in Integration Server Administrator and Microservices Runtime Administrator displays the working directory. The watt.server.homeDir server configuration parameter also specifies the working directory.
loadAs
String. Optional. The format in which the service returns the output. Set to:
*bytes to return the output as a byte array. This is the default.
*stream to return the output as a stream object.
*string to return the output as a string.
secretKey
Document. The secret key to extract the private key required to decrypt the data.
Provide secretKeyBytes, secretKeyString, or secretKeyRingFile. If you provide secretKeyRingFile, you must also provide secretKeyAlias. Otherwise, the service throws an exception.
Key
Description
secretKeyBytes
byte[ ]. Optional. The secret key file in bytes.
Note:
Secret key files have a .asc extension.
secretKeyString
String. Optional. The secret key as a string.
secret​KeyRingFile
String. Optional. The absolute or relative path of the secret keyring file. The secret keyring file is a collection of secret keys with a unique key ID. If the file is outside the Integration Server or Microservices Runtime installation directory, provide the absolute path. Otherwise, place the file in your Integration Server or Microservices Runtime working directory.
The About page in Integration Server Administrator and Microservices Runtime Administrator displays the working directory. The watt.server.homeDir server configuration parameter also specifies the working directory.
Note:
Secret keyring files have a .skr extension.
secretKeyAlias
String. Optional. The 64 bit (16 characters) key identifier of the secret key.
Note:
This parameter is required only when you use secretKeyRing​File.
secretKey ​Passphrase
String. Password required to extract the private key from the secret key. This is the password provided while generating the secret key.
Output Parameters
stream
java.io.OutputStream. Conditional. Decrypted data as an output stream. Returned when the loadAs input parameter is set to stream.
bytes
byte[ ]. Conditional. Decrypted data as bytes. Returned when the loadAs input parameter is set to bytes.
string
String. Conditional. Decrypted data as a string. Returned when the loadAs input parameter is set to string.
status
String. Indicates whether the data is successfully decrypted or not. If successful, status is success. Otherwise, status contains failure along with an error message.
Usage Notes
Prerequisites to use the pub.security:decrypt service:
*Generate a public-secret key pair for Integration Server.
*Make sure that the external system that sends the encrypted data has access to Integration Server's public key to encrypt the data.
Decryption works as follows:
1. The external system sends the data encrypted with Integration Server's public key.
2. Integration Server receives the data and passes it to the pub.security:decrypt service.
3. The pub.security:decrypt service uses the private key to decrypt the data.
4. The service returns the decrypted data.
The service supports a data file of size up to 2 GB when the memory allocated to Integration Server is 10 GB or more.
Authentication keys used in this service must be in the PGP format and generated using the RSA encryption algorithm.
Note:
Authentication keys in the .ecc format are not supported.
