Secure Implicit Context Loading

[mborlo15]

• We are wanting to utilize implicit context loading by copying what was written in the Talend Context Best Practices Series. https://www.talend.com/resources/best-practices-for-using-context-variables-part-3/
• The author's methodology
  • Uses a config file to connect to the database which holds the context variables
  • Sensitive information in the config file and the database would be encrypted via JASYPT
• Problem: All looked good except for the fact that sensitive information would be encrypted using weak/deprecated algorithms. Does anyone have suggestions on how his code could be adapted to use AES/GCM or something of similar strength?

Hello,

For Studio version 7.3 and higher we use AES 256 bit as the encryption algorithm.

The kind/flavour is GCM.

You are able to find it on our talend help center.
