Please Note:

Quick Start

Using CipherTrust Batch Data Transformation (BDT), you can perform transformation through encryption and tokenization. This Quick Start page describes how to run BDT in the simplest form, that is, performing a file-to-file transformation through encryption.

Prerequisites

Encrypting Files

Commands to encrypt files on Linux and Windows are detailed below. Click the desired tab for details.

1. Installation

Refer to Installing BDT for details.

2. File-to-File Transformation

Below are the steps to run File-to-File transformation in BDT:

  1. Create a user test_user and a key test_key for this user on the CipherTrust Manager.

  2. Download and copy the QuickStartEncryptInput.csv and QuickStartEncrypt.config files to the $BDT_HOME/conf/ directory. The ContactDetails column of the QuickStartEncryptInput.csv file will get encrypted using these steps.

  3. Download and copy the QuickStartEncrypt.policy file to $BDT_HOME/samples/.

  4. Configure properties of default crypto library. Open command prompt from $BDT_HOME/bin/ and run the following command:

    bdt.sh -f

    Enter values as per the prompt messages and you are all set to run BDT.

  5. Run the following command to write encrypted NAE user test_user password in QuickStartEncrypt.config file:

    bdt.sh -e -c ../conf/QuickStartEncrypt.config

  6. Run the following command:

    bdt.sh -t -c ../conf/QuickStartEncrypt.config -p ../samples/QuickStartEncrypt.policy

  7. Check the QuickStartEncryptOutput csv file created in $BDT_HOME/conf/.

1. Installation

Refer to Installing BDT for details.

2. File-to-File Transformation

Below are the steps to run File-to-File transformation in BDT:

  1. Create a user test_user and a key test_key for this user on the CipherTrust Manager.

  2. Download and copy the QuickStartEncryptInput.csv and QuickStartEncrypt.config files to the $BDT_HOME/conf/ directory. The ContactDetails column of the QuickStartEncryptInput.csv file will get encrypted using these steps.

  3. Download and copy the QuickStartEncrypt.policy file to $BDT_HOME/samples/.

  4. Configure properties of default crypto library. Open command prompt from $BDT_HOME/bin/ and run the following command:

    bdt.bat -f

    Enter values as per the prompt messages and you are all set to run BDT.

  5. Run the following command to write encrypted NAE user test_user password in QuickStartEncrypt.config file:

    bdt.bat -e -c ../conf/QuickStartEncrypt.config

  6. Run the following command:

    bdt.bat -t -c ../conf/QuickStartEncrypt.config -p ../samples/QuickStartEncrypt.policy

  7. Check the QuickStartEncryptOutput csv file created in $BDT_HOME/conf/.
