Decryption Policy - Apinizer Dokümantasyonu

General Information

Policy Type

policy-decryption

UI Documentation

📖 For detailed information: [UI Documentation Link - Link will be added here]

Description

Decryption policy decrypts encrypted data using cryptographic keys. It reads encrypted data from source variables, decrypts them using specified cipher algorithms, and stores the decrypted data in target variables. This policy provides data confidentiality capabilities by reversing encryption operations. ⚠️ Implementation Status: This policy is currently not implemented in Management API. This policy cannot be created or managed through the Management API at this time. This documentation is provided for reference purposes and will be updated when full API support is added in a future release.

Notes and Warnings

⚠️ Implementation Status:
- This policy is currently NOT IMPLEMENTED in Management API
- Attempting to create or update this policy via Management API will fail
- This documentation is provided for reference purposes only
- Full API support will be added in a future release
Cipher Algorithm:
- Can be specified statically via cipherAlgorithm or dynamically via cipherAlgorithmVar
- If both are null, decryption will be skipped (data returned as-is)
- Algorithm must match the one used for encryption
Initialization Vector (IV):
- Required for CBC mode algorithms
- Set ivExists: true if IV is present
- IV must be provided in ivVar with correct ivEncodingType
- IV encoding must match the encoding used during encryption
- ECB mode algorithms do not require IV
Input Encoding:
- Must match the output encoding used during encryption
- BASE64 - For Base64-encoded encrypted data
- HEXADECIMAL - For hexadecimal-encoded encrypted data
Key/Certificate Management:
- Keys must be configured in Key Store before use
- Certificates must be configured in Certificate Store before use
- Use enumKeyCertificateType to specify key or certificate source
- Key/certificate must match the one used for encryption
Variable Types:
- Source and target variables can be from headers, parameters, body, or context
- Use appropriate variable types based on data location
- Encrypted data is typically stored in context or headers
Multiple Definitions:
- Multiple decryption definitions can be configured in one policy
- Each definition decrypts a different source variable
- Definitions are executed in order
Decryption Order:
- Decryption should be performed before other policies that need plaintext data
- Consider policy order when configuring decryption policies
Error Handling:
- Decryption failures will throw exceptions
- Configure error messages for better error handling
- Invalid keys or algorithms will cause decryption to fail

Permissions

User must have API_MANAGEMENT + MANAGE permission in the project. For deployment operations (when deploy: true is set), user must also have API_MANAGEMENT + DEPLOY_UNDEPLOY permission.
