.. _auto_openssl_decrypt:

*DECRYPT TEXT BASED ON OPENSSL*
===============================

Decrypts an OpenSSL-encrypted ciphertext string using a specified hashing method, secret key, and seed (salt/IV). Use this worker whenever a downstream workflow step requires plaintext recovered from an OpenSSL-compatible encryption envelope.

     - Required
     - Description
   * - Text
     - text
     - text
     - —
     - ✓
     - The Base64-encoded or raw OpenSSL ciphertext string that needs to be decrypted; must be the output of a matching OpenSSL encryption step.
   * - Key
     - key
     - textarea
     - —
     - ✓
     - The secret key (passphrase) used during encryption; must match exactly — typically a long alphanumeric or PEM-formatted string supplied via a secure credential store.
   * - Method
     - method
     - text
     - sha1
     - ✓
     - The digest/hash method used to derive the decryption key (e.g. 'sha1', 'sha256'); defaults to 'sha1' — change only if the encryption step used a different method.
   * - Seed
     - seed
     - text
     - —
     - ✓
     - The salt or initialization vector (seed) that was used during encryption; must match the value supplied at encrypt time to produce correct plaintext.
