Is it possible to receive encrypted information using an HTTP API source?

Just as the title says. I know that currently many of the batch sources allow you to use encryption keys that can be generated in Experience Platform, however, I haven't seen anything about streaming sources, particularly the HTTP API source.

 

Is it possible?

Hi @edgar_herrera 

At this point, I do not think it is there for Http API and encrypted ingestion is possible for only cloud storage batch sources.

Hope this answers your query!

    Hi @edgar_herrera , 

     

    If you’re using HTTPS for data transfer, additional encryption of the payload is generally not necessary. HTTPS ensures that all data transmitted between the client and Adobe Experience Platform is encrypted in transit using TLS, which protects against eavesdropping and tampering.

     

    Since Adobe Experience Platform requires HTTPS for HTTP API sources, the data is already secure during transmission. Therefore, using custom encryption on top of HTTPS is usually redundant unless you have specific compliance or security requirements that mandate it.

     

    Hope it will help!

     

    Kr,

      Thank you very much for your response. In my case, it is a security requirement that the information that travels through a secure transmission channel, is in turn encrypted, in order to avoid computer threats, such as MitM.
