Crypto

The Crypto node is the ultimate enterprise-grade security engine for your automation workflows. It effortlessly eliminates vulnerabilities by providing military-grade encryption and advanced JWT (JWS/JWE) capabilities. Aggressively protect user data, authenticate webhook payloads, and unleash complex RSA/HMAC algorithms seamlessly.

What can you do with Crypto?

Enterprise JWT (JWE/JWS)

Safeguard highly sensitive financial information using advanced JSON Web Encryption (JWE) and validate identities seamlessly with JSON Web Signatures (JWS).

Military-Grade Encryption

Instantly lock down user data using zero-compromise AES-256-GCM and RSA asymmetric algorithms, ensuring absolute data privacy and compliance.

Bulletproof Authentication

Surgically generate and verify salted Bcrypt hashes, effortlessly blocking brute-force attacks and securing your login systems.

Detailed Usage & Configuration

1. Unleash Core Cryptographic Power

The Crypto node is the ultimate security layer for any HTTP Request Node integration. It empowers you to handle sensitive data with absolute confidence.

  • Hash (One-Way): Instantly convert your input into an irreversible fixed-length string using advanced algorithms like SHA3-512 and BLAKE2b.
  • Sign (HMAC): Effortlessly generate a cryptographic signature. This is strictly required by Payment Gateways (Stripe, PayPal) and secure webhook providers.
  • Encrypt & Decrypt: Surgically lock and unlock your data using the ultra-secure AES-256-GCM symmetric algorithm.

2. Advanced JWS & JWE Cryptography

For high-security API integrations (like Apple Pay, Open Banking, or OIDC Identity Providers), aggressively leverage JSON Web Token standards.

  • JWS (JSON Web Signature): Seamlessly sign payloads using HS256 or RS256 to guarantee data integrity and authenticity.
  • JWE (JSON Web Encryption): Encrypt sensitive payloads using RSA-OAEP and A256GCM. Only the possessor of the Private Key can decrypt and read the token.

3. Bulletproof Bcrypt Authentication

Modern systems must abandon outdated Hash algorithms (MD5, SHA) for password storage to prevent Rainbow Table attacks. Unleash native Bcrypt support directly in your workflow.

  • Hash Password: Automatically generates a random salt and hashes the plaintext password into a highly secure string.
  • Verify Password: Compares a plaintext password against the hashed string stored in your Database. It outputs a simple true or false boolean.
💡 Tip / 🛡️ Security: Route the boolean output of the Bcrypt Verification into an IF Node to seamlessly branch your workflow for successful or failed login attempts!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When should I use JWE instead of JWS?

Use JWS when you only need to prove who sent the data (Integrity). Use JWE when the data itself is highly confidential (like credit card tokens) and must be completely hidden (Confidentiality).

Why use BLAKE2b or SHA3 over SHA256?

BLAKE2b and SHA3 are modern hashing algorithms that offer significantly higher security margins and hardware performance than older SHA2 algorithms. They surgically prevent advanced collision attacks.
