vRealize Orchestrator Encryption Plugin

Overview

An inventory-less vRO plugin to provide Encoding, Digest, Cipher and Asymmetric (RSA) Encryption methods.

Background

Prior to this plugin when integration projects required Encoding/Digest/Encryption methods the authors used JavaScript libraries like CryptoJS or JSEncrypt on the Rhino runtime of Orchestrator. The performance was adequate. Handing of non string data in JavaScript in Orchestrator was a challenge across the different libraries. Not all libraries had methods for handling Base64 encoded strings.

By providing Java based methods instead with a plugin, the CPU utilization is exponentially less. All functionality supports string and binary data.
