...

The preferred solution with JS7 is to use of asymmetric keys:

• Encryption and decryption is performed directly by the related jobs.
• No JS7 product is involved in encryption/decryption as otherwise the JS7 product would know the keys involved that potentially could be compromised by logging, database persistence etc.
• Performing encryption/decryption by jobs limits the attack surface to the OS process executing the job. The job implementation is controlled by the user who can verify secure operation.

...

• The solution is available
  • from Unix for Linux and MacOS® using bash shell,
  • from Windows, Linux and MacOS® using PowerShell version 7.x.
• The solution is intended as a baseline example for customization by JS7 users and by SOS within the scope of professional services.
