aes_decrypt

Description​

Uses the AES_128_ECB algorithm to decrypt a string and returns a binary string.

AES is short for advanced encryption standard and ECB is short for electronic code book. The key used to encrypt the string is a 128-bit string.

Syntax​

aes_decrypt(str,key_str);

Parameters​

str: the string to decrypt. It must be of the VARCHAR type.

key_str: the key used to encrypt str. It must be of the VARCHAR type.

Return value​

Returns a value of the VARCHAR type. If the input is invalid, NULL is returned.

Examples​

Decode a Base64 string and use this function to decrypt the decoded string into the original string.
