Encryption and Decryption of Sensitive Information using Pipeline Components in BizTalk

In this article, I will brief on encrypting and decrypting the sensitive information using custom pipeline component in BizTalk.

Lets create a class library project to implement Execute pipeline component as shown below, relevant reference are added to develop custom component.
Now, lets define properties to specify the cryption type (encryption or decryption) on data and data node as shown. Cryption Type is defined as enum type as below.
Here is the implementation of  IPersistPropertyBag interface, for CryptionType and Element Properties.
Implementation of IComponent Interface is shown below, based on the CryptionType property and Element Name specify, the data would be encrypted or decrypted.

Internal Encryption and Decryption implementation,
Lets create encryption receive pipeline and bring in EncryptDecrypt Component to Decode stage and define the properties as below.
Similarly, Send Pipeline to Decrypt the information
Deploy the solution and define a receive port and location then associate the EncryptData Receive Pipeline as shown below.
Similarly, define two send ports to subscribe the message received on the receive, 1 send port will have DecryptData Send Pipeline and other would be a simple pass through pipeline.
Pass through Send Pipeline, subscribes the encrypted message.
Process messages and verify the result. 
This mechanism allow us to transfer sensitive information in a is a secured manner and thus 3rd party system would be able to access the information.
