Crittora Secure quickstart

Use this flow to protect a payload, save the returned encrypted_data, and later decrypt and verify it with authorized Crittora Secure credentials.

Start here

• Create a Crittora Secure account.
• Copy the username, password, partner ID, API key, access key, and secret key.
• Paste the credentials into the browser-based code generator if you want language-specific examples.
• Run sign-encrypt, then pass the returned encrypted_data into decrypt-verify.

Sign and encrypt

Call sign-encrypt with the data you want to protect. The permissions array can include approved partner IDs when access should be scoped beyond the issuing credentials.

1curl --location 'https://managed.crittoraapis.com/sign-encrypt' \
2  --header "username: <username>" \
3  --header "password: <password>" \
4  --header "access_key: <access_key>" \
5  --header "api_key: <api_key>" \
6  --header "secret_key: <secret_key>" \
7  --header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
8  --data '{
9    "data": "sensitive information to encrypt",
10    "permissions": []
11  }'

Decrypt and verify

Send the returned encrypted_data to decrypt-verify. Authorized recipients decrypt the payload and verify the signature before trusting the data.

1curl --location 'https://managed.crittoraapis.com/decrypt-verify' \
2  --header "username: <username>" \
3  --header "password: <password>" \
4  --header "access_key: <access_key>" \
5  --header "api_key: <api_key>" \
6  --header "secret_key: <secret_key>" \
7  --header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
8  --data '{"encrypted_data": "<encrypted_data>"}'

Code generator

The generator at https://secure.crittora.com/code-generator.html creates examples for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, PowerShell, COBOL, and cURL. It also supports environment variable snippets, inline examples, and a Postman collection download.

Credentials are displayed once after trial or app client creation. Store them securely before leaving the success page.
