Recently I have started to use the Jasypt CLI tools. Before that, I have always had to use the tedious way with the Maven plugin just to do a simple encryption and decryption for any deployment update. This article is meant to complement the guides from the page Jasypt: Java simplified encryption.
Table of contents
Requirements
- Java JRE
- Terminal, in this example is the Git Bash on Windows.
- Downloading the distribution zip file of Jasypt – from the link in the file README in the Jasypt’s GitHub repo.
Steps
- Check the path to the default $JAVA_HOME
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
C:Usersyour.username.jdkscorretto-17.0.12
jasypt_algorithm=PBEWithMD5AndDES
jasypt_path={path-to-your-unzipped-jasypt}/jasypt-1.9.3/bin
jasypt_password={your choice of master password}
alias encrypt-jasypt='$jasypt_path/encrypt.sh password=$jasypt_password algorithm=$jasypt_algorithm'
alias encrypt-jasypt='$jasypt_path/decrypt.sh password=$jasypt_password algorithm=$jasypt_algorithm'
- Start a new session of Git Bash
- Test the encryption
$ encrypt-jasypt input="foo.b4r"
----ENVIRONMENT-----------------
Runtime: Amazon.com Inc. OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 17.0.12+7-LTS
----ARGUMENTS-------------------
input: foo.b4r
password: *****
