Secure Your API Data: How to Use CryptoJS AES 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
