Quickly Encrypt your Properties with Jasypt for your Spring Boot application.

Using the ENC() in your application.properties file allows you to access the secure content.

You need to add the following annotion, I added it in the Application class
@EnableEncryptableProperties

The password that is used to encrypt is passed in the runtime arguements can also be an Environment Variable.

-Djasypt.encryptor.password=secretKey

export JASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_PASSWORD=secretKey

pom.xml dependency

‹dependency›
‹groupId›com.github.ulisesbocchio‹/groupId›
‹artifactId›jasypt-spring-boot-starter‹/artifactId›
‹version›3.0.4‹/version›
‹/dependency›

Build plugin to encrypt on the command line

‹plugin›
‹groupId›com.github.ulisesbocchio‹/groupId›
‹artifactId›asypt-maven-plugin‹/artifactId›
‹version›3.0.5‹/version›
‹/plugin›

Note: Always externalize your application.properties file, even with encrypted params you do not want to check them in and do not want to build a jar file with the params, keep configuration outside the jar file.
