About the Cryptography Module

This module provides cryptography capabilities to a Mule application. Its main features include:

Symmetric encryption and decryption of messages.
Asymmetric encryption and decryption of messages.
Message signing and signature validation of signed messages.

This module supports three different strategies to encrypt and sign your messages:

PGP: Signature/encryption using PGP.
XML: For signing or encrypting XML documents or elements.
JCE: For using a wider range of cryptography capabilities as provided by the Java Cryptography Extension.

Additionally, this module offers two general operations to calculate and validate stream checksums.
See General Operations for more information.

Using the Extension in Anypoint Studio 7

You can use this extension by adding it as a dependency in your Mule app.

Installing the Extension

Open your Mule project in Anypoint Studio.
Go to the Mule Palette.
Select Search in Exchange, and search for the Cryptography Module.
Add the extension.
You can now search in the mule Palette for operations of the Cryptography module.

Security Provider

By default the security provider is Bouncy Castle. If you do not configure mule.security.provider=BC, the module attempts to add Bouncy Castle as a provider when mule.security.model is not FIPS140-2.
