Hi,

    I am giving encrypted keys in OSGI configuration, but keys are getting unprotected(decrypted) without using crypto. Unprotect () in backend. Can anyone please help me why this issue is happening.

Hello @HariniVR 

 

Please refer to this blogs: https://www.nextrow.com/blog/adobe-experience-manager/crypto-support-in-aem-to-encrypt-decrypt-data

 

The encrypted value generated for the same plain-text string will differ from one AEM instance to another instance because keys are unique to each instance. Thus, its the AEM only who can encrypt and decrypt.

Hi @HariniVR 
AEM provides a Configuration Plugin to decrypt configuration properties. This AEM Plugin will automatically decrypt and retrieve the clear text from osgi properties.
