Converts columns using an encryption algorithm such as AES.
Encrypted data is encoded using base64. For example, if you have following input records:
id,password,comment
1,super,a
2,secret,b
You can apply encryption to password column and get following outputs:
id,password,comment
1,ayxU9lMA1iASdHGy/eAlWw==,a
2,v8ffsUOfspaqZ1KI7tPz+A==,b
- Plugin type: filter
- algorithm: encryption algorithm (see below) (enum, required)
- column_names: names of string columns to encrypt (array of string, required)
- key_type: encryption key (enum, optional, default: inline), can be either "inline" or "s3"
- key_hex: encryption key (string, required if key_type is inline)
- iv_hex: encryption initialization vector (string, required if mode of the algorithm is CBC and key_type is inline)
- output_encoding: the encoding of encrypted value, can be either "base64" or "hex" (base16)
- aws_params: AWS/S3 parameters (hash, required if key_type is s3)
- region: a valid AWS region
- access_key: a valid AWS access key
- secret_key: a valid AWS secret key
- bucket: a valid S3 bucket
- path: a valid S3 key (S3 file path)
Available algorithms are:
- AES-256-CBC (recommended)
- AES-192-CBC
- AES-128-CBC
- AES-256-ECB
- AES-192-ECB
- AES-128-ECB
AES-256-CBC is the recommended algorithm. The other algorithms are prepared for compatibility with other components (see below "Decrypting data" section).
PBKDF2 is a standard (PKCS #5) algorithm to generate key and iv from a password.
To generate it, you can use genkey.rb script.
You save above text as "genkey.rb", and run it as following:
$ ruby genkey.rb AES-256-CBC "my-pass-wo-rd"
It shows key and iv as following:
key=D0867C9310D061F17ACD11EB30DE68265DCB79849BE5FB2BE157919D19BF2F42
iv =2A1D6BD59D2DB50A59364BAD3B9B6544
You can use openssl
EVP_BytesToKey algorithm to generate key and iv from a password. If you use AES-256-CBC cipher algorithm, you type following command:
$ echo secret | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -nosalt -p
You will be asked to enter password. Then it shows key and iv:
key=DAFFED346E29C5654F54133D1FC65CCB5930071ACEAF5B64A22A11406F467DC9
iv =C92D28D70B4440DA3F0F05577ECFEE54

You can copy key and iv to key_hex and iv_hex parameters.
You can use openssl command as following:
$ echo <encrypted value> | openssl enc -d -base64 | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -K <key> -iv <iv>
For example:
$ echo 6aEGvMrGx7tODkPF7x5Yog== | openssl enc -d -base64 | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -K DAFFED346E29C5654F54133D1FC65CCB5930071ACEAF5B64A22A11406F467DC9 -iv C92D28D70B4440DA3F0F05577ECFEE54
secret
You can use PostgreSQL's decrypt_iv
or decrypt
function to decrypt values (provided as pgcrypto extension). If you use CBC,
decrypt_iv(decode(encrypted_column, 'base64'), decode('here_is_key_hex', 'hex'), decode('here_is_iv_hex', 'hex'), 'aes')
If you use ECB,
decrypt(decode(encrypted_column, 'base64'), decode('here_is_key_hex', 'hex'), 'aes')
