Decrypt Text

The "Decrypt Text" activity in AutomatR is part of the Cryptography activities package, enabling automation processes to decrypt text using various algorithms and key specifications. This activity enhances the security and privacy of sensitive information within automation workflows.

NameDescription
Input
AlgorithmSelects the decryption algorithm to be used. The dropdown menu provides options such as AES, TripleDES, DES, AESGCM, RC2, and Rijndael.
KeyProvides the key necessary for decrypting the specified text. String variables containing the decryption key.
TextSpecifies the text to be decrypted. Only string variables or direct string input are accepted.
Misc
Display NameCustomizable name for the activity displayed in the workflow. Enhances clarity and organization within the automation project. String variables containing the desired display name.
Optional
DelaySpecifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait before executing the "Decrypt Text" activity. Useful for handling synchronization issues. Integer variables containing the delay duration (e.g., 5 for 5 seconds).
Output
ResultOutputs the decrypted text stored in a string variable for utilization in subsequent activities.

How to use:

  1. Drag and drop the "Decrypt Text" activity onto the workflow.
  2. Configure the properties by selecting the decryption algorithm, providing the decryption key, and specifying the text to be decrypted.
  3. Optionally, configure the delay and customize the display name.
  4. Execute the workflow to decrypt the specified text using the chosen algorithm and key.

Example: Consider an example where the "Decrypt Text" activity is used to decrypt an AES-encrypted text:

Decrypt Text:
Display Name: "Decrypt AES Text"
Algorithm: AES
Key: "SecretKey123"
Text: "EncryptedTextToDecrypt"
Result: DecryptedText

In this example, the activity decrypts the specified text using the AES algorithm and the provided key. The decrypted text is stored in the variable "DecryptedText" for further use in the workflow.
