AEM Crypto Support: Encryption and Decryption Beyond the OSGi Runtime
Unlock the full potential of AEM\'s Crypto Support with our comprehensive guide. Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) provides robust encryption capabilities for protecting sensitive data, but utilizing this functionality outside the AEM environment can be challenging. This page explores various aspects of AEM Crypto Support, including extending its reach beyond the standard OSGi runtime.
Extending AEM Crypto Support Outside AEM
This wrapper library allows to encrypt/decrypt with AEM\'s CryptoSupport outside AEM. The library provided by Adobe only works inside AEM/OSGi runtimes. This wrapper adds some class AEM now provides a Configuration Plugin to decrypt configuration properties. This AEM Plugin will automatically decrypt and retrieve the clear text properties.
Understanding AEM\'s OOTB Crypto Support
This is possible through the OOTB AEM Crypto Support bundle. This bundle provides services for encrypting and decrypting the confidential/secured data through system-wide keys (hmac and master files). Learn about the encryption support for configuration properties. This is possible through the OOTB AEM Crypto Support bundle.

The CryptoSupport API
The CryptoSupport provides a simple API to encrypt and decrypt binary and string data. This interface is not intended to be implemented by consumers. To use the API get the service from
Key Concepts: HMAC and Master Files
Crypto Support is based on keys (hmac and master files) which are unique for each AEM instance. Encrypted text generated for the same plain-text string on one AEM instance will be...
Securing OSGi Configurations
First the question arises why do we need to protectOSGIconfiguration when not everyone can access the admin config console? The answer is simple, OSGI configuration may contain passwords or any sensitive information and at the end when the configuration gets saved, they are saved in the repository and can be a See more on tothenew.com.
