Click Next to complete setup. The connector will output both the Encrypted Text and Initialization Vector (IV).
When executed, the connector encrypts the provided text using AES-256 with CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode. The resulting encrypted value and IV can then be passed securely to downstream connectors or external systems. This connector is commonly used to protect sensitive data—such as credentials, identifiers, or payloads—before sending them through APIs, databases, or third-party destinations. Decryption requires the same key and IV, which can be performed using the AES-256 Decryption connector.
