Encryption of input field
Locked

This post was updated on .
Hi,
I have an input field <xf:input ref="instance('user-model-record')/password"> <xf:label>Password</xf:label> </xf:input> I'm storing this in the database as clear text, does orbeon support encryption algo like RSA or DES (anyother) so that I can store encrypted text instead of clear. Thanks --SD |

SD,
Yes, Orbeon supports the XForms 1.1 digest() function:

Erik,
I do not want a digest, i want an encryption function so that I can store the password as encrypted text and decrypt it wherever required.

Ah, in that case, we don't have such a function readily available.
Note that it is typical to use a hashing algorithm for passwords, rather than encrypt/decrypt. What encryption algorithm are you looking for specifically?

Erik,
The functionality of the usecase is like this 1. Grab a userid and password from the user and store it in an xml file 2. A jar would then read this userid and password to connect to a webservice
So all I wanted was to store the password entered by the user in an encrypted format and decrypt it back in the jar. I cannot use hash function because the webservice that I'm calling doesn't accept hash but takes the actual password
RSA is what I was looking into --SD

I understand.
It's pretty easy to call static Java methods from XPath. You could provide your own Java classes/JAR providing encryption/decryption.
