ABSL, SAP ByDesign - Encryption Functionality

piotr_ceglinski — Thu, 09 May 2024 10:29:53 GMT

Hello,
We need for one of our solutions to establish secure, encrypted connection with custom API. How we can encrypt messages in ABSL language in SAP BusinessByDesign? Messages are sent by REST protocol. What are ways to incorporate symmetric-key encryption and asymmetric encryption.

With regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

You can try using one of the Platinum Engineering libraries.

import ABSL; import AP.PlatinumEngineering; var StringToBeEncrypted : XPEString; StringToBeEncrypted = "test-123"; var Secretkey : XPEString; Secretkey = "ExactlyThisLeng!" ; // the secretkey must have exactly this length var EncryptedString = Hash.EncryptString("AES128",StringToBeEncrypted,Secretkey); // "AES128", "AES192", "AES256" can be used

Thank You for the reply. I tried this library but there is not possible to decrypt the message on the API side

Either you use some of SAP middleware where that option is possible or you create/use a web service and host it somewhere where you can send the info that needs to be encrypted and then you store that data back in byd for future use. For now no other options
