Hi,

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.
