Send encrypted text over a RESTful call
Hi,
I want to send a secure text (password) over a RESTful call to another system. Does pega provide any OOTB encryption system? I see encryptPropertyValue() function used to encrypt a property. But how will this value get decrypted at the other end?
Any ideas/suggestions would be really helpful.

Is it possible to decrypt the value in the application which is at receiving end? Because i am sending encrypted value over the network and other application has to decrypt it. Other application will not have decryption functions and keys pega has.

In that case i don't think you can achieve your requirement with the above functionality at the other application.

Hi Kunal,
As per my understanding there is no OOTB encryption/decryption process for the parameters in Connect REST calls to the external system. To secure your data, you need to enable SSL for your REST service in your external system and try to connect via SSL which provides you secured connectivity.
Hope this might help you.

one way to acheive this requirement, encrypt the password using a key . The key should be known by the other system.
To get the key from other system, do an initial registration call to get the key and store it. (Or)
Based on an agreement from other system, get the key and use it for encryption.
