decrypt
Description
The decrypt command takes a previously encrypted value and recovers the original plaintext using the Detect encryption key. The same key file used during encryption must be supplied for successful decryption.
Syntax
decrypt -p "<encrypted_value_to_decrypt>"
Examples
Decrypt using the default key:
CliTool.bat decrypt -p "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=..."
Linux:
./CliTool.sh decrypt -p "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=..."
Note: Currently, the decrypt syntax does not support properties
files.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
-p <encrypted_value_to_decrypt> |
Yes | The encrypted string value to decrypt. This should be the output previously produced by the encrypt command. |
-key-file-path <path_to_file> |
No | Path to a .properties file containing the active encryption key. Must match the key used during encryption. If omitted, the default built-in key is used. |
Sample Output
Decrypted value: MySecretPassword
Note:
- The
-pflag must immediately precede the encrypted value. - If a custom key file was used during encryption, the same key file must be supplied when decrypting; otherwise decryption will fail or produce incorrect output.
- If
-key-file-pathis not provided, the command will print:[WARN] No key file path provided, using default key.
