About Encryption

AES256 encryption is a widely used encryption algorithm that uses a 256-bit key to encrypt and decrypt data. It is considered to be a strong encryption algorithm and is widely used to protect sensitive data, including passwords.

When you use AES256 encryption to store passwords for test automation, you are essentially taking the password and converting it into an encrypted format that can only be read by someone with the encryption key. This means that even if someone gains access to your password, they will not be able to read the passwords without the encryption key.

When storing passwords using AES256 encryption, it's important to keep the encryption key secure. Ideally, the encryption key should be stored separately from the password database to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, you should ensure that the key is only accessible to authorized personnel who require access to the password database.

Note: This page would give you the encryption key wrapped with "ENC()". The Tidal.Wave framework would need this wrapping to identify the string as an encrypted password. If you are using your own password decryption scripts, please exclude the wrapper or take into consideration that the ENC() part is not part of the actual encryption string.

NO DATA WOULD BE STORED OR TRANSMITTED DURING PASSWORD ENCRYPTION.
