How to Use CryptoJS AES for API Encryption in Postman

CryptoJS is a growing collection of standard and secure cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript using best practices and patterns. They are fast, and they have a consistent and simple interface. Learn how to use the built-in CryptoJS library in Postman's sandbox to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES method. In this tutorial, we walk through setting up a pre-request script for encryption, sending the data via an API request, and decrypting the response in a test script — all within Postman! 💡 In this video, we explore: • How to use CryptoJS AES encryption and decryption • How to store and reuse a passphrase as a collection variable • How to log and debug data in Postman’s console • How to set up and use encryption in pre-request and test scripts 🔗 Resources : - Read the Cryptography Blog: https://blog.postman.com/what-is-cryptography-how-to-encrypt-data-in-postman/ - Collection with Examples using CryptoJSResources: https://www.postman.com/postman/workspace/postman-answers/collection/18070393-66f7caac-3005-44b2-8620-16dfb64a35f4?action=share&creator=18070393&ctx=documentation 📚 Chapters 0:00 – Intro to CryptoJS in Postman 0:16 – Setting Up Encryption with AES 1:55 – Sending Encrypted API Request 2:10 – Decrypting the Response with Test Script 3:26 – More Encryption Methods & Postman Resources
