Re: Ant tasks to encrypt or decrypt passwords from property files

Hello Alexey, I have written something based on your code. Actually, I wrote an ant task to create the key first. I wanted to create filters (pluggable into filterchains) to encrypt and decrypt, but I do not get that to work. I might do an ant task to encrypt and a sort of loadproperties clone

Ant tasks to encrypt or decrypt passwords from property files

Hi, I am looking for ant tasks which can be used to encrypt or to decrypt passwords stored in property files. The reason is that I am going to develop an ant script which will start an Oracle SQL*Plus batch or a stored procedure, and the DBA does not want that we hard code the password in

Re: Ant tasks to encrypt or decrypt passwords from property files

This can be done by requiring a key store in user home. Only people that have some special certificates, can encrypt/decrypt date (SSH style security). The decryption can be easily done with scriptdef. This is a corresponding Java code: SecretKeySpec skeySpec=new

Re: Ant tasks to encrypt or decrypt passwords from property files

OK, I see your point, although the key store has to remain 'secret' somehow, using file-system dependent permissions I guess, otherwise it's exposed as well. --DD On 6/19/06, Alexey N. Solofnenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This can be done by requiring a key store in user home. Only people that

Re: Ant tasks to encrypt or decrypt passwords from property files

The classic response to the classic topic: if you can protect the decryption key adequately, why not simply protect the password adequately? Using encryption to enhance data security isn't a simple matter of turning it on - you have to consider these sorts of issues or all you'll be doing is

Re: Ant tasks to encrypt or decrypt passwords from property files

And if you can keep the keystore secret and protected, couldn't you keep the password secret and protected? Dominique Devienne wrote: OK, I see your point, although the key store has to remain 'secret' somehow, using file-system dependent permissions I guess, otherwise it's exposed as well.
