Business Central Data Encryption Algorithm?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Pranavi Kota 30

Hi All,

I need to encrypt data sent in API calls to integration with e-commerce platform from business central.

From their end they are using AES algorithm for encryption. SO is it possible to use AES based encryption in business central?

If not possible can we decrypt the data encrypted in business central from other end ? if Yes, What is the algorithm used in in-built encryption in business central?

I have the same question (0)

    You can use System.Encrypt(YOURTEXT), but in these cases maybe could be better to call an Azure Function that encrypts the data with the desired algorhytm and then you send the encrypted value to your external service.

    But I think calling Azure function for encryption and decryption of text before actual API calls to external service could lead to some latency as these API call frequency is high in a time-frame.

    Is it possible to use this System.Decrypt(YOURTEXT) from external .Net application?

    Thank you for the help..

    Yes possible but on SaaS you cannot execute external .NET apps.

    You can try and use codeunit 1266 - Cryptography Management for BC15 or 1266 "Encryption Management" for previous
