EncryptCredential

Apteco PS Modules - PowerShell security encryption module

Execute commands like

"Hello World" | Convert-PlaintextToSecure

to get a string like

76492d1116743f0423413b16050a5345MgB8AEEAYQBmAEEAOABPAEEAYQBmAEYAKwBuAGQAegBxACsASQBRAGIAaQA0AEEAPQA9AHwANAAxAGEAYQBhADAAYwA3ADQAYwBiADkAYwAzADEAZgBkAGUAZQBkADQAOABhADIAMgA5AGUAMAAyADkANwBiADcAMQAyADgAOAAzADkAMwBiADAANAA0ADcAMwA3ADQANgAxADMAYwBmADQAZQAyADIAMwBkAGQAMQBhADUAMAA=

This string can be decrypted by calling

"76492d1116743f0423413b16050a5345MgB8AEEAYQBmAEEAOABPAEEAYQBmAEYAKwBuAGQAegBxACsASQBRAGIAaQA0AEEAPQA9AHwANAAxAGEAYQBhADAAYwA3ADQAYwBiADkAYwAzADEAZgBkAGUAZQBkADQAOABhADIAMgA5AGUAMAAyADkANwBiADcAMQAyADgAOAAzADkAMwBiADAANAA0ADcAMwA3ADQANgAxADMAYwBmADQAZQAyADIAMwBkAGQAMQBhADUAMAA=" | Convert-SecureToPlaintext

and get back

Hello World

You better save the strings into variables ;-)

This module is used to double encrypt sensitive data like credentials, tokens etc. They cannot be stolen pretty easily as it uses SecureStrings.

At the first encryption or when calling Export-Keyfile a new random keyfile will be generated for salting with AES.
The key ist saved per default in your users profile, but can be exported into any other folder and use it from there.
Be aware that the encrypted strings are only valid for the executing machine as it uses SecureStrings that cannot be
copied over to other machines.

You can use `Import-Keyfile` to use a keyfile that has been exported before.
