GlideEncrypter- Global (deprecated)

The GlideEncrypter API provides methods to encrypt and decrypt strings using the Key Management Framework (KMF).

Important: The GlideEncrypter API no longer supports Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) due to NIST guidelines (see NIST 800-131A Rev 2). As a result, the following changes were implemented in the Zurich release:

• For existing instances that upgrade to the Zurich release, the GlideEncrypter API is available for use but has been updated to automatically use the Key Management Framework (KMF) algorithm.
• For all new instances created starting with the Zurich release, the GlideEncrypter API is no longer supported. Directly use the Key Management Framework instead for all cryptography operations.

You can use this API in server scripts in the global scope. The GlideEncrypter class has two constructors:

• GlideEncrypter()
• GlideEncrypter(String key)

GlideEncrypter - GlideEncrypter()

Creates an instance of the GlideEncrypter class using a Key Management Framework (KMF) cryptographic module.

var encr = new GlideEncrypter(); 

GlideEncrypter - GlideEncrypter(String key)

Creates an instance of the GlideEncrypter class using a given encryption key.

var encr = new GlideEncrypter(myKey); 

GlideEncrypter - decrypt(String encryptedString)

Decrypts a clear string using the KMF-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.

var encr = new GlideEncrypter(); 
var clearString = 'abcdefg'; 
var encrString = encr.encrypt(clearString);
var decrString = encr.decrypt(encrString);  
gs.print("Decrypted string = " + decrString);

Output:

Decrypted string = abcdefg

GlideEncrypter - encrypt(String clearString)

Encrypts a clear string using the Key Management Framework (KMF) algorithm.

The following example uses the GlideEncrypter() constructor to encrypt a given string:

var encr = new GlideEncrypter(); 
var clearString = 'abcdefg'; 
var encrString = encr.encrypt(clearString); 
gs.print("Encrypted string = " + encrString);

Output:
